When a change is made to templates, or even to the advertisers, it's nice to update the site.
Certain pages, like Ratings, Cool, etc are *NOT* updated on BUILD ALL unless they are marked as changed in the database. (variable)
Pages and categories that have no links on them are also not updated past the first build, so they too remain static and with old advertising. (index.html pages)
This causes certain problems:
1) It causes advertisers to not be updated -- and potentially can create problems (legal or otherwise).
2) It prevents the 'look and feel' of the site from being updated on a routine 'build all' if no changes had been made to the database.
Anyway, thought I'd pass that on, since it drove me crazy for 2 days trying to figure out why certain 'deleted' advertisers were still showing up in my daily stats.
"Build All" should rebuild EVERY SINGLE page possible, not only changed ones... and it doesn't seem to.
