For the life of me, I can't make the ads show up on my new OP site.
I was able to for my last site, but not this one. Anyone have any ideas? I checked permissions.
I am able to set up the ads, upload the images, etc. But they simply don't show.
The blocks appear to function, as they show up in context. They are selected in context, both in sidewide and frontpage.
But they don't show. Any ideas?

Ad module with Context on OpenPublish site
Please read solution here:

"Download the ad module http://drupal.org/project/ad and install it. You may want to install the chart api as well.
After setting up the module's settings (please mind the fact that you will have to use 'raw' as default format in the global settings, that's an issue right now) you can setup your advertisements. This is quite handy because you can have several ad groups and channels and even have certain ads display more often than others. For instance, I have two groups. One for banners and one for square-shaped ads and I have advertisements from various channels populating these two groups, displaying in turn.
When you have setup your ads, just go to site building --> context. Because the Ad module generates blocks for your ad groups, you can simply remove the default open publish ads and replace them with your ad blocks."

Newspaper sites without advertising are rather pointless.

I have three ad groups
They show up in the context ...
I click them and add them to the correct locations (header/rightside/footer)
But they don't show.
What would overrule context?
Ads - Check Status
I noticed that when I create an ad, that if something is amiss - or later a problem is found with the image (image ads), the status of the ad is changed from active to some other status. The ads only appear if the status is 'active'.
