Default Just Bought GAB.. need some serious help

I managed to add adsense into a banner , named the category "adsense", and then went to master script and placed $GAB_ads[0] into "adsense".

By adding $GAB_ads[0] into my header, I was able to get the adsense banner for my header.

However, I have serious issues trying to add other banners for $GAB_ads[1], $GAB_ads[2], etc...

Can I get some help on how to sort this out? I tried adding a new banner into a seperate category called "Adsense skyscraper". Then I went to masterscript and made $GAB_ads[1] to "Adsense skyscraper". However when I place $GAB_ads[1] into a new template I created for a vbadvanced module, the adsenes banner will not appear.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Templates with $GAB_ads[x] in them:
Styleid 2 Title header contains $GAB_ads[0]
Styleid 2 Title adv_portal_adsenseskyscraper contains $GAB_ads[1]
gab folder check
You seem to be missing your gab folder or your Server Path to Gab folder is invalid. That needs to be there for uploading banners

Why does it keep saying my gab folder is invalid? My folder path is home/sole/public_html/forums/geek/ gab /images

Also, is there a manual on how to setup banners? I cant figure out how to set banners to $GAB_ads[1]. Thanks

Did you try the URl above? It appears to be set up right, $GAB_ads[0] will give you ads ffrom category 5 and $GAB_ads[1] will give you ads from category 6. To get it to work on vbacmps, you need to follow directions in the previous link.

The error about not being valid means that either your server path is incorrect or that it isnt chmodded correctly. If you are not uploading images, it shouldnt matter.

Geek where are you getting category 5 and category 6. Is there a place where I need to set them correctly? Also the path to the folder is correct and I have chmoded it to 777. I am still receiving these errors.. Is it possible for you to take a look?
