Have the email notifications for an expiring ad stopped working in the newer version(s)?
I log the outgoing emails and don't see anything for one that expired a day ago. I pushed it out 4 more days today, to see if it may work next time. It used to send out something 3 days in advance, and maybe the day it expired.
Is it possible that it can only do it one time, and this is my issue? I use the same ad when it expires every year, and just push out the expiration date when they renew it. (for this particular advertiser, who pays by check)
Thanks

It has a custom integration for toggle on/off and currently requires a refresh to see the status of the ad upon toggle.
With PayPal they have to do it via their account. With Stripe, I just realized that there is no way. I will add the option in the next release.
The only thing has changed is to check if the user that created the ad exists before attempting to send email/notification. Are the options to receive email/alert checked in the ad settings of the advertiser in front-end? Also, what value have you set for admin option "Send notification with x days before ad expires"?

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find this setting.
I checked the ad itself, i checked the package settings, I checked general/advertiser/admin options, I even checked xf usergroup permissions for those users.
It is set to 3 days and did work in past years.
Thanks

The MP4 files preview is bugged when you upload one since release of the support of this file extension.

Great, thanks! If you could make it work with PayPal as well (to keep the workflow the same), that would be awesome. I know for account upgrades both can be cancelled via the cancel button on the user upgrades page.

When you create an ad as an advertiser, settings are in the "Options" tab.
What preview?
For PayPal, in XF 2.2.x you get this message: "Note: PayPal subscriptions can only be canceled from your PayPal account. If you do not have a PayPal account, please contact us or contact PayPal directly."

For example the "Background Image" preview, if you upload an MP4 is bugged, it becomes wider than the interface. Same goes for the banner when you need to approve them, the interface is bugged. Only with the MP4 format.

I have a banner ad where I use the Custom HTML with something similar to this:
I'd like to change the 'ABC' portion for certain viewers when they meet certain criteria. I may be able to do this with existing options but would have to manually create and track tons of ads which I don't want to do.
If I wanted to throw in some PHP logic and set a var for the 'ABC' portion how and where would you recommend I do that so your updates don't overwrite it?

The field supports XF template syntax so you can try to use that.

I created a "banner package" then created an ad but it's forcing me to put a title and description.
Is it possible to disable the "title" & "description" from my ad? I only want the banner to show. The title and description takes up too much time once you ad more ads
This is how my ad looks. The title and description is unnecessary for me.
There is no option to disable title and description in the settings.

I DMed you the mp4 files so you can test properly. Thanks so much
Anyone has any active mp4 banners ads running on your forum which you can share the url?
My mp4 ads display fine on desktop but not mobile (either via phone browser or PWA). It just does not animate.
Trying to find if there is something in the browsers, the addon or the mp4 video itself.

Hi @Siropu I'm following-up on the idea of state targeting.
We have a request from a few advertisers that are willing to pay almost DOUBLE our usual rate if we can target specific STATES in the US, and specific provinces in Canada.
I hope we can find ways to do this... and if not yet, can we pay for this to be added as a feature?
