Really? I'm happy that things are going good for you Gunsmoke. I was just checking out your site and it looks really polished.
When are you planning on launching ? Anyhow i'll give it a try and see if I can post a .gif tomorrow cause I have to finish off a few things regarding my finals :cool: .. do you know of any good .gif websites that offer free links?

Will probably be another week or two before the site is ready to go. I'm still making changes on a daily basis. The programmer that did the script is in Germany so it's a little odd trying to work with him to clear up the bugs in the script but it's going to be worth it. It's looking really good. If you want a sneak look here... http://gunsmoke.me/dm
You can sign on and all but I'd hold off putting any products on till I've checked all the bugs. :P
It'll probably change a bit over the next week. I'm still adding pages and changing the logo, and on and on and on...

Matt, I don't know if the problem is this for sure, but it could be that the files may be limited in size that can be displayed here? Not sure if that's even possible, but that image you're trying to use is dang near a movie lol, and it's over 1mb in size. Don't know if that's what is causing it not to work, but that would be my first guess as I checked the code you used to display it and it looks correct to me.

Good catch Jo Ann. That may be it. My files were fairly small.

@Jo Ann yes it could be the file size, I just took some gifs off of a website so that I could use them on my board, and here as well.. I have to keep them smaller in size most definitely ! :D

I think the problem here Matt is you are linking to someone elses website that has Hotlink Protection turned on. Which means you can not use an image from their website on another. (This saves their bandwidth.) Try saving the image and uploading it to your own server. Here is the image you were trying to post. :)

Yes thanks to Jo Ann I have a collection of books that I need to study now before I go and start a new project. With the way the books are formatted I can just look up the information that I need to know now :) But I still will be here for help with the more troublesome coding :)
