Where is "Admin section"?

    I'm running some PHP scripts (RSS Content Builder, etc.), but I'm not very knowledgeable about it. In the setup instructions, it says, "In the Styles/Templates section of the Admin section..." That implied to me that I should run a script to see the Admin section, but after setting ad_network_314.php to 755, executing it just gives me a blank window.

    Obviously, I'm way off base; can you help me get on?

    You sure you have the right site type set for your account? Sounds like you are looking for the setup instructions specific to vBulletin.

    Yes, you're right! I found "vBulletin" at the top of the page. But I got there by clicking on the "Setup Instructions" link at http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/

    Are there directions somewhere for using the ads in plain old Web pages?

    Set your site type correctly under your settings, and the instructions will change.

    This must be a great tool for those who succeed in using it, but I have to say it's about the most user-unfriendly thing I've seen. There doesn't seem to be any way to edit a rejected ad. You have to start over every time.

    First my title was too long, but there was no indication how long it could be. Then it was rejected because my description was too short, but there was no indication how long it should be.

    And now you're telling me to set the site type correctly (and I appreciate your willingness to help), but I don't see any place in the "Create New Ad" dialog to set the type. Here is all the text that's there:

    Create New Ad
    Ad Type:Banner Text
    Theme:
    Language:
    Anchor Text:Read Guidelines!
    Destination URL:
    URL Of Banner Image:Must be 468x60
    Description:

    Go to http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/?action=edit
    Then scroll down to the "site type" drop down box. Choose the most appropriate site type. :)

    Ads can't be edited because it would make the review process pointless (get an ad to pass review then changing it would be bad).
