I'm using Ad Campaigns in two blocks of the Omega template, one of them in Panels config. The ads show up in a random fashion, sometimes they show up, sometimes they don't. With <?php print_r($ads) ?> I get two outputs; when ads show up it's

and when they don't it's just

Array ( )

I didn't have any problems until today, actually the random on/off started upon adding two campaigns on the front page.
I'm using the latest dev.
any ideas? thanks!

Do you have inactive campaigns? Don't know if it is related to your issue, but have you seen #1889622: Randomly selecting inactive ads ? Might be related.

Do the problems disappear when you have only 1 campaign on front page? Try and narrow the issue down. See also http://drupal.org/node/73179
