Default constant download of images

Hi first off I don't know if this i something i did wrong or if its a problem with the GAB . but the only answer i was left with was to un install.

anyway , here's what happened

I got a surprising email from my service provider complaining i was using more than my fair share of resources on the server, i.e i was pestering the sql too many times

when i looked into it, and im no expert, it seems its gab
in internet explorer on the bottom of the screen it kept coming up very two seconds downloading image from www.url.com even when the advert was not there, or shouldn't have been

the same thing happened in firefox but wasn't as obvious, so every person guest or member visiting my site was getting this, again like i said, i have absolutely no idea if it was this or not that caused the outage for me on my server, but an annoying hourglass every other second was enough for me to disable it.

if its something im doing wrong I'd love to know because this is a little gem of a hack and its exactly what i need for my sponsors.

on another note, again probably something i am doing wrong but i also kept seeing an empty advert in placers where i hadn't set them, this only happens when I have the template turned on..

any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Just enable it, hit the debug and then disable it.

No, the test .html page is created as a test to see if gab can write to the upload directory. It cant most likely because the directory isnt chmodded right.
The other thing is that no ads will be pulled or displayed with the above configuration. Right now, its set up with only 1 billboard with ads tonly pulled from selected categories - and there are no categories selected, therefore no ads will be pulled.
I cant see for the life of me how this would cause any more than 1 query per page (and a teeny one at that). Are you sure that this is the script causing problems, I cant see how it could be.
