OK, This is wierd.

I create a banner, and upload the image but it doesn't show up, even in the admincp banner setting screen.
I ftp in, to verify the image got copied in, it did, I see it sitting there!
But...

In the admincp, banner setting, the image does not display.

I told it to load in the header, as well as forumhome template.
Nothing shows, no banner and no image.

I try setting up an adsense, using my adsense code in the adsense template, Still nothing in header or forumhome.

Any ideas, as to what I may have done wrong?

Just check your templates for me. Another user upgraded yesterday and for some odd reason only a couple templates installed resulting in something similar. After running the template portion of the install again, it worked.
If you want to see a list of the templates that should be there, click settings->templates. The right hand columns are templates that should have installed.

These are te template I have

GAB_item_image
GAB_item_flash
GAB_custom_adsense
GAB_custom_custom1
GAB_item_rotating
GAB_wrapper_standard

I went ahead and reinstalled them for giggles, same thing

There is one odd thing, in Gab manager\Settings\Templates
The GAB_item_rotating template does not show up on that list, I just noticed it in the Style Manager

Because of that, I added a new Template called Rotating Banner with that template, but it did not matter.

Also, I did not upgrade, I did a fresh install to my testvb forums to get a clean start.

The rotating template is hard coded for selection when you set up an ad that rotates.

Tom, caould you spare me an admin account to have a look at your settings?

BTW: is it adsense you are setting up? Did you put the adsense (or any text) in the GAB_custom_adsense template? Did you set up the ads in the scripts correctly?

The ads are defined in the script (generally MASTER while all others 'use master' unless you want to override the setting). For adsense, you need to have an ad block in the script in question, the wrapper template needs to be set to standard and the custom/adsense put in the ad pull down box

Also, all have to be marked as 'active' ;)

Private Message sent,

Yes, I placed my adsense code in the adsense template ;)

I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class gab_base in /home/wazabe/public_html/forum/includes/gab_class_core.php on line 4

You most likely did the file change twice. Double check your global.php file edits (search for gab)

Uhu, indeed.
But you know, file change 101 was done, and file change 100 and 200 weren't ?? :s

ah.

Sometimes people miss the 'couldnt complete step xxx' message that is a link to the manual change.
