Ads dont work in my VB

[jan1024188]

Ok, so I went to edit template for default style, and this is my ad_showthread_firstpost:
<li class="postbitlegacy postbitim postcontainer">
<div class="postdetails" style="text-align: center;">
<vb:literal>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" WIDTH="728" HEIGHT="90" CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash5/cabs/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0">
<PARAM NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="http://img.servint.net/yearafteryear-728x90.swf?clickTAG=http://www.servint.net/index.php?refid=AFE802379527">
<PARAM NAME="PLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="LOOP" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="QUALITY" VALUE="high">
<PARAM NAME="SCALE" value="noborder">
<EMBED SRC="http://img.servint.net/yearafteryear-728x90.swf?clickTAG=http://www.servint.net/index.php?refid=AFE802379527" WIDTH="728" HEIGHT="90" PLAY="true" LOOP="true" QUALITY="high" SCALE="noborder" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT></center>
</vb:literal>
</div>
</li>

It used to work, but now after 2 upgrades of versions (I have 4.1.7 now) it doesnt work anymore.
Also if I make any ad via Advertising in admin panel, nothing shows up either. I feel like this is some sort of template problem...

Can we see a link? Also, that is not proper html. You cannot use <li> without an <ul> or <ol> surrounding it.

Someone down in the RBS thread said ad_showthread_firstpost had been removed from the latest vb versions. But I finally updated to 417 and mine's still there and still working.

Well, the point is, even if I use "ADVERTISING" tab and create an add and add plaintext "hello test" in it, it never shows up on site. janbirsa.com/cms

I looked, and I don't see anything, but I don't know if you have anything up right now. Make sure you disable any ad or script blockers you may have installed.

As a test, I just went into Advertising and created a new ad above my footer with just the word "testing" in it, and it shows up fine in 417.

Well, than something in my forum is ++++ed...wondering if anyone knows what?

Why don't you try the test I just proposed and let us take a look at it. Create a new ad above your footer with a simple quote in it. Then, assuming you can't see it, come back and have us take a look.
