    Advertising Fails to Save to Templates

    Vbulletin 4.2.3

    When I edit an ad in the Advertising and click "Save", everything appears to work properly. It goes through its cycle and says it has saved successfully.
    When I check the appropriate forums, nothing has been updated. If I go back and check the "Advertising", it shows the update.
    When I check the template it does not show the update.

    Where should I start

    It seems to be a problem with Styles, the "Advertising" is writing to the "Default Style" only, I don't see that I have a choice, probably my fault, but I don't see where I can choose to write to my custom style. When attempting to edit, I go to "Manage Ads", leave it on "Page: Global", "Below Navbar", but it only writes to the Default Style.

    I am looking at the template code in my default style and I am suspicious of the
    Code:
    </vb:if>
    Code:
    <div id="ad_global_below_navbar">
    
    <vb:if condition="$vbulletin->GPC['forumid'] == 81">
    <br />
    <table align="center" border="3" class="alt1" >

    I occasionally get this too.

    For me clicking the 'Save' button again after 'It has gone through its cycle and says it has saved successfully'.... the second 'save' always corrects it.
    I'm not saying this will work for you but give it a try.

      Tried a second save every way I can figure, but no luck I also messed around with the
      Code:
      </vb:if>
      , but it only save correctly the way it is.

      or...
      it could be that it won't save to any template that has had any formatting modified to make it more legible. Probably.
      This would mean that editing this location will probably only be able to be done manually from now on.
