Problems with Burst as Fastclick default

rich media sample shows, but not img/click

When setting up some new default campaigns today on Fastclick, I noticed that Fastclick was properly displaying the Rich Media Default Javascript Ad preview from Burst but wasn't showing anything in the Standard Default Ad preview, just a broken image and the "Your Medium rectangle should appear here." text.

The Burst links I'm using are correct and a non-rich media ad does display if I toss in some links from say, Commission Junction.

Any ideas why this isn't working?

Perhaps...

The Rich media link points to one advert, the standard advert points to a different advert which should be served when the client browser is unable to understand the rich media format advert.

It's not clear to me from your post if you are aware of this, if you are, my apologies for stating the obvious.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.

If you're not familiar with Fastclick's default setup page, it enables you to see an example of both the rich media and standard links you enter so that you can see if they're both working. Works for other ad nets, but for some reason it wasn't working for Burst.

Anyway, I happened to checking it out using IE the other day and it was working. I'm a Firefox user and hardly ever fire up IE that I didn't even think it might be a browser issue.
