Yup, as long as $GAB_ads[1] is defined in your Master Script (or forumdisplay if it overrides it)

I havent combed through it totally yet... however at first glance, your banners are not active. Edit the entries via admincp-> gab ->banners->(each banner ) and set the Active to 'yes'

There is an old setup movie around here somewhere, but Im not sure if that is what you are after.

the x in $GAB_ads[x] is defined by your script. In 99.999% of cases, it is defined in your Master script. If you edit it, you will see a list of 9 $GAB_ads[x] with a select box next to it. The select box defines which billboard configruation is assigned to the $GAB_ads[x] variable.

HTHs

PHP Code:
GAB directory looks valid and I can write to it
here is the debug.
I set it up just like the other banners.

The problem is that your billboard has 1 ad in it that pulls HTML ads. If you want to randomly swap between image ads and html ads, you will want to add another ad to the billboard. Then set the new ad to pull images. You will also want to change the billboards settings to randomly pull from one of the ads below.

The problem with this method is that it randomly picks which ad block to show. THen it pulls the ads based on their frequency. In other words, lets say you have 30 image ads and 1 google ad with the above set up... GAB will pick to show the images 50% of the time and the adsense 50% of the time which can be somewhat undesirable.
