Validate Error

    Hi All,

    Before anything...good meeting all of you, new to the forums. I signed up for the coop ad network, setup a banner in the pool (Pending Review) and setup all of the pages/code/text file that needs to be placed on the server.

    I'm getting "Account not not yet activated. | Site failed automatic validation as of 2004-12-02"

    I wasnt sure if I could "Validate/Calculate Weight Now" or do I have to wait for the account to be activated?

    error message:
    Ads not found on http://www.gdezigns.com/gamerport/index.php


    sorry if this has been asked before!
    thxs!
    Marc

    You need to run the ads site-wide in order to be validated.

    If your base URL is the domain, it would need to be in the whole domain. If it's a directory, it would need to be everything within the directory.

    domain: http://www.gdezigns.com
    directory: gamerport
    index.php file is located inside the above directory etc...

    I included all the code in the forum pages etc. is this correct so far? sorry about all the confusion! my question is about the site-wide..as long as I place all the code in the php files, footer etc..that is site wide no?

    thxs for all the help!

    As long as all your pages are PHP and use the footer, then yes... it would be site-wide.
