Ad filtering contraindication
Note: If you are using an ad filtering program (program which removes banner ads from web pages) such as Ad Muncher, please disable it, as it will add its own code which will cause errors in the php file.

Fix: Updating to Ad Muncher v4.7 Build 27105/1450 or newer will solve this problem.
