You may suggest any language change you like here, but unfortunately, there’s not much I can do about it! I would suggest you send you suggestion for changes to OpenX directly :-) Hi Paz,

Can I suggest to change the language please? "Dont show ..." YES/NO is a double negative and implied statement and makes it very confusing. The option should be a explicit statement which says "Show ...." YES/NO. Makes it obvious what the desired outcome is.

If you do run OpenX on a different server from your site, though, the post does show you how to set up your JS code to ensure that you will never have this problem, even if your OpenX server is completely dead!

I guess this does similar but down to a campaign level/ Great site by the way. Bit worried about using JS code now after reading the problem with hanging the site!

Great site by the way. Bit worried about using JS code now after reading the problem with hanging the site!

Eventhough the array $phpAds_context does contain various "!=" => 'bannerid:x', the bannerid x does show more than once on the same page.

Eventhough the array $phpAds_context does contain various “!=” => ‘bannerid:x’, the bannerid x does show more than once on the same page.
