Hi Jester

I must be doing something wrong as when i try it it just comes up with the url and no picture. I have created a folder called pictures via ftp and put any pics i have in there but when i follow your instructions it wont play ball.

The path is case sensitive, so in the example I gave, if you used smileys as the folder name, it wouldn't work.

Can you get the flag to work for you?

Have you typed in the exact address of the file you want, including the 'pictures ' folder you just mentioned and just incase, as Ive nade this mistake myself, the file name itself will be case sensitive and dont forget the extension.


opppsss sorry Rik  ;D

The servers are Unix, so very sensitive to case, as I find out frequently. :)
