Ads Showing Blank

I can't save screenshots right now, so I can't show you, but on my forum, where an ad should be placed, there's only a white rectangle in its spot. I don't have anything set for blocking the ads, so I was wondering if there's any known reason for this.

Also, is there any way I could get in trouble for these ads displaying incorrectly? I haven't done anything to alter them, and they're in the same frame, just a big white spot, no ad.

Edit: Actually I just realized - it's linked to in my sig (last one), so if anyone can take a look and see for yourself if there's a problem for you too, it'd be appreciated.

Does it happen when the board is online as I notice it is offline at the moment?

They are blank. I just checked them in Firefox and IE7 :-/
Maybe someone from the staff will be able to reply and help you.

Sometimes the ads do show, but for about 80-90% of the time I say they don't.

Edit: I've noticed that on the pages for the links on the bottom of my forum, the ads do show, but any other page and it's almost always blank.

Well that just ruined my music in iTunes :P

It's possible that the google ads just don't know what ads to show. It does happen sometimes.
It is also possible that a modification could be affecting them. However other than the loud music, I don't see how any of the modifications would be affecting the google ads.

But is important to you is that it's apparent to me that you're not attempting to hide the ads. However it might be nice if you could see whether your scripts are the cause of the problem.

Haha, sorry bout your music - though it does let me know that at least works :P
It's for a game called Ace Combat, and music on some pages have helped with the atmosphere, so...yeah...

Anyway, I'll start removing the codes and see if they're causing the problem.

Sorry bout double post - not sure if support already read last post, in which case this update may not be seen if I edited it.

All codes under Board Template have been removed. Ads are still not displaying on most pages - both pages with some type of music and normal forum pages, so the music's not causing it and the codes aren't causing it.

I'll keep the codes out until staff makes a reply.

-------------------------------

Edit: I'm going to put the codes back in now because they're important to what I'm doing, but I can honestly say that the codes have nothing to do with the ads not displaying correctly.

Just updating this since it still seems to be an issue. I can't figure out what's causing the ads to show up blank. They do work on some pages, but on others they don't - and since I've worked for years on the forum, I don't want any TOS violation taking it out, so can any support help out. Thanks.

Edit: It looks like everything has worked itself out. Ads are showing up on all pages now.
