Data at Your Fingertips: Explore Our New Reporting and Statistical Capabilities By Ryan Ashbrook Tuesday at 01:29 PM
Nihonto Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Have never used advertising before, but when going through the settings, I saw an advertising setting in Site Promotion that seemed fairly simple. So I wanted to just test it and see if it's viable. I set up a single image to show. I set only admin to see it while I test. Added a simple image. But no matter what I do, I don't see any image anywhere, in any of the places I set it to appear. Have tried multiple times. Can't see anything wrong with what I am doing, so wanted to ask if there is something I need to know, or how to troubleshoot? Anyone using it that can give any advice? I haven't tried showing to any other groups, but surely showing to admin should work? Anyone? Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I assume you confirmed the advertisement is active? Try clearing your system cache in the support section of the ACP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihonto Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 (edited) Yes to both. Shows active, cleared cache. I'm guessing the pic doesn't have to be a certain size? Confused now. PhP is current, software version is current. Theme is standard. Edited January 28 by Brian Robinson_47676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihonto Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 (edited) Here you go @Nathan Explosion Really can't see why it's not working Btw...I did add a valid link after I took that screenshot. Edited January 28 by Brian Robinson_47676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I just tried this on a new stock/vanilla board and it worked fine. (And the image dimensions don't matter.) Have you tried creating a NEW vanilla theme and using it? I know you said you have a standard theme, but just for giggles, create a new theme and use it to test. (There could be a problem with your existing one.) Also have you tried disabling all of your third party resources/applications to see if they might be interfering with the ad system?

opentype Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 What about the browser? Ad blockers and other interferences deactivated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastafari Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 If Admin isn't your primary profile you can't see this. You have to add your primary profile in checkboxes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihonto Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Tried various browsers, same. Disabled all addons...same Have about 6 themes installed, tried them all...same. Not sure what you mean by primary profile @rastafari? I'm the main admin, and have always been logged in with that profile. So it should show to me as admin? But I guess I'll have to enable it for members or guests and try it as one of those tomorrow. Wanted to avoid the questions until I decide where I am going with it, and once they see it they are going to start a debate. But I guess that is easiest for now.

Nihonto Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Thanks all. Set it to show for guests and members too, and it shows perfectly. So for some reason it doesn't show to admins alone, but that isn't important. It works otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastafari Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Set it only for admins and mods. Can you see it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
