I've been battling with this for 4 days now & still can't figure out what I've done or am missing to get the slideshow running again.

I have it installed ok and running through a "loadposition advert1" command in the page where until Friday it was working fine.  I was doing other work on the site - and did put a link into one of the slides but that was the only change I made in relation to it.  When I then went to check if the slide was showing the link ok it was so I was happy and went on to do some other work with articles.  Came back to the Home Page 10 mins later to find the slideshow had suddenly disappeared.

I've checked & treble-checked everything I can think of & everything appears to be enabled as it should be, with no "obvious" conflicts, but something's stopping it from running.  I even removed the link I'd put into the slide but that didn't do much either.

I know it's hard trying to figure out problems from such descriptions but before I go bald, wonder if anyone might have any further suggestions in case I've just overlooked something?
Thanks.

Sorry - the only reason I'd not thought about the link was because I doubt it will tell you much over the rather blatantly obvious - that the module link isn't formatted properly or something as it's coming in as plain text & I can't figure out why :(

Anyway - here's the link - www.bloomfieldmethodist.org.uk/

Thanks for your interest in helping me - however, I finally figured out in putting my last reply to you that that was exactly the problem - the module call was linking as text - I managed to switch that to <code class="php">{loadposition advert1}</code></p> and VOILA - it's WORKED!!  However, I still don't know why the original ever changed in the first place, nor do I remember actually putting the call in, in any other way than through the editor front end rather than as code in the backend which I've now done to fix it.  Regardless.  It's sorted.  Amazing what you can achieve just by asking the question sometimes :)

=============
Update - just discovered the real reason things have been mucked up so much for me lately with not just this mod but some others - seems the culprit has been my editors SCAYT spellchecking facility - for whatever reason regardless of the fact that I wasn't asking it to spellcheck anything, it was doing so as soon as I made any changes to a page & then inserting lots of text where it shouldn't be - in this case - right around the module call statement.  Once I disabled it, all was finally and fully sorted.
