I am trying to test different placeholder images and even though I am changing the url in the stylevar eg.,
Code:
url(dbtech/forumads/images/placeholder1.png)
the image is still pointing to
Code:
dbtech/forumads/images/placeholder.png
in firebug.
 
Have you tried flushing any cache systems like vB Optimise?

I double-checked the CSS and it's correct there.
 
Oh yes several times.

Here is the strange part and why I think it is bug (on my system at least); I can change the url to anything I want in the stylevar and nothing changes but if I rename my NEW image to placeholder.png and ftp it changes.
Here is a shot of firebug with the new image; placeholder.jpg

Here is a shot of my stylevar settings with a different URL; placeholderstylevar.jpg
 
Could you please create and PM me with a temporary FTP and AdminCP account?

For security reasons, we recommend you create a new FTP account only for DBTech support, then disable or delete it after we have both confirmed the issue has been solved and there are no further issues.

The same applies to AdminCP accounts; they should ideally be temporary accounts created for us only. If we have created an account on your site already, you can optionally boost that account to Administrator and then de-admin this account once the issue has been solved.

If you use a .htaccess password protection for your AdminCP directory, it is recommended that you create a new authorised user for DBTech and remove this user once the issue has been solved.

Please test any temporary accounts you create to ensure that the FTP account has access to the forum files, and that the AdminCP account can access the administrative controls for the product we are assisting you with.

Ensuring this is all in order before submitting the information will significantly speed up the process of assisting you. We will alert you via PM if there's any issues with the login information you have provided.

When sending the PM, for your security you should also un-tick the "Save a copy in my Sent Items folder" checkbox. When the access details have been received, we will delete the PM from our inbox. Ensuring you have not kept a copy of the PM reduces the risk of security breaches.

Thank you for helping us debug our products and allowing us to assist you, we appreciate it :D
 
I should have seen it initially - this is the Banner Space placeholder, not the "no ads" placeholder. The banner space PH is not controlled by a stylevar.
 
I have to be honest I am now completely confused. So what does the stylevar setting in the image above control?

StyleVars

  • "Checkmark" image in the Packages / Discounts display
  • Border around the ads & placeholders
  • Padding around the ads & placeholders
  • Background of the ads & placeholders
  • "Please Don't Use An Ad-blocker" image
  • "Your Ad Here" placeholder image
 
That controls the global placeholder if you don't define one in an individual Banner Space :)
 
Sorry about that Fillip H.. Making you look around for nothing. :eek:
I got it now. I over looked the placeholder setting in the banner space itself and assumed it was controlled by a stylevar. Oops. My bad.
