Title: Man! Those Google Ads were a badddd idea!
Post by: Ken on November 07, 2006, 11:27:11 AM
My intensions' & motives were good when I decided to run the Google ads , but overall it was a really bad idea to install them. The ?Mod? that was used to install the ad program did not install correctly (my fault) so when I tried to uninstall the mod it trashed several pages of the forum software, again my fault because the software is OK, I just screwed it up.

I won?t try to give you all the detail on how the forum works, but the basic thing in this case is this? when you are looking at a page in the forum, as you are now, the page you see is actually made up from parts of several other pages, sometimes lots of them. So when something is installed or changed it may affect several pages and that?s what happened here.

So what was the cure?
Simple? I had to read through dozens  of pages and a few thousand lines of code to find and correct all of the missing, extra or broken code entries.

Ah well? that?s how you learn, after all, if you never make a mistake you must not be trying hard enough!  :disted:
