Not sure which banner you mean? If you mean the one at the top, I don't see any ads there.
The ones down the right hand side open ok for me. I noticed some use pop-ups. Perhaps the user has their pop-up blocker switched on?

Here is the screenshot of the ad

please let me know why some people if they click on ads nothing happens

Works fine for me. Although, you need to use the IE fix, so you don't have to click twice on everything.

THank you for the help but are you so kind to give me the correct code for setting it up on my site.
I am confused of so much code, apparently I am using satay for w3c flash validation and that might be the problem

here is the code

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.bestofcalifornia.info/images/stories/bannerfront.swf" height="300" width="400">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.bestofcalifornia.info/images/stories/bannerfront.swf" />
<p>You need the Flash plugin.</p>

</object>

I posted the link in my last post. Learn it, use it always!

I have changed the code back to default flash code and still some complain that some ads do not work for them in firefox, but in internet explorer everything is fine

how is that possible

You have to use this:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/

It's not published as the default code, you can't use the default. It's Flash Object in the publish settings.

I am really hardly understanfding you

I have made a code with dreamweaver and put it on my site and it still does not work

and this swfobject seems really complicated

i think flash satay is much better but can you please explain the whole think more simpler because it is really hard to understand

I don't know how to make it any more clear.
If you want your sites to work in IE, you have to use the flashobject, or swfobject script. These have been available for over a year now and everyone should be using them.
They are not complicated at all. Go to that site, download the package, install it. Now you have a new option in your publish settings for "flash object". This is how you publish all your files now. It's makes a different code that you put in your pages. The code is smaller, works better and is much cleaner than the <object...embed method.
Trust me when I say, "you have to use this" or your sites will not work.
Just download the package and install it. You'll see.
