TextAd graph is dead

June 29, 2003 9:41 AM

The TextAd graph has gone belly-up. I want, nay demand, fancy graphs to go with my Ad expense, and all I got was this lousy error:

The chart could not be generated due to an error in the graphing engine.


The error occurred in C:\metafilter sites\www.metafilter.com\adsystem\log_report.cfm: line 218

Sadly, wibbler, those of us willing to help are themselves clueless. This might be one of those (all too often) instances when "LIVE NUDE GIRLS (more inside)" posts would've drawn more attention. Try again on Monday when the technically gifted crowd are avoiding work.

I know it worked last year, but it hasn't worked at least since March.

I think it's a very finicky program. When I bought text ads, it worked some of the time. When it didn't, I discreetly emailed matt and he fixed it, and it worked for awhile.

Well I discreetly ignored it until someone else brought it up in MetaTalk. So there.

discreetly, as opposed to wanting, nay demanding it be fixed.
