Not a bug, but a change in the Google code. Since a while Google does not use google_ad_channel = "your_channel"; anymore when adding channels to adds. Instead a tag google_ad_slot = "ten-digit number"; appeared, which aparently contains channel codes. As a result, setting up channels and adding them in Adsense module does not differentiate into channels anymore. Clicks are still paid for though (phew).
This change is not very practical for us users, but something we have to live with, unless there is an API to use. My hopes are on you.....

A Google adsense ad block made on 7th november 2007 through Adsense page:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-#############";
//
google_ad_slot = "##########";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

I just want to track this issue in "My Issues" somehow and I can't see an easy way of subscribing to new posts about this issue (or status change, etc) so I'll just post a comment to test if this will treat it as one of "My issues" since I commented about it...

Cool! it does track it in My Issues now! ... which is a nice workaround but I think it would be nice to be able to subscribe to a particular issue without having to spam the issue's comments. And... sorry for spamming the comments :)

This issue is a duplicate of #195036.

Again, if someone submits a working tested patch, I will include it. Otherwise, the present channels work fine for me.
