Hold 'CTRL' or 'Command' to select multiple palettes
Is this not working anymore?

I'm testing some different palettes but they don't seem to be changing on page reload like I recall. Are multiple palettes working for anybody else? Thanks.

It stopped working months ago. It's not available in the new interface, so I guess thay just ended it, even though the option is still there.

Yea, it stopped working so I went back to my old way of using PHP to rotate them. It's a PITA, but at least I know it works.

Thank you both for the info. At least now I can stop wondering WTF is going on with it! ;-)

Maybe I missed the announcement, but did ASA or anybody else give a reason for why this was scrapped? Thanks.

No. First it wasn't working in the new interface, and then the old interface stopped working too.
It was practically worthless anyway, since they never gave you any stats on which palette worked best.

Thanks netmeg. It was my understanding that layouts were served, but not necessarily in a random or equal way. In other words, even without stats, if I saw a preponderance of layout "A" over layout "B" whenever I checked my site, perhaps it was more than likely that "A" was the better of the two. At least, that was my thinking.

FWIW, I just set up a new ad unit in the old interface and had no problem selecting multiple palettes.

FarmBoy, but do the ads rotate? I set them up too using the old interface, but then noticed they never changed. Thanks!

Yea, I tried that a while ago, and it worked for a while - but then I'm pretty sure it stopped working.

Well netmeg, I've gone ahead and set them up again. Still not rotating, but the primary palette I want is what's showing now anyhow, so whatever. Hoping the multiple palettes option is just down for repairs and Google will bring it back one of these days. Must be thousands and thousands of sites that have no idea their palettes are stuck. If indeed multiple palettes have truly been scrapped, shouldn't there have been some kind of announcement about it from Google to let the webmasters know?

Sure, but as we all know, "should" doesn't always resonate with Google.

Not on their own, but if I turn my screen sideways, it looks like the ad is rotated to the right and is on its side.
