Dazzag,
It could be, but dont forget, all the banners were kept under 15KB, so it shouldn't be too bad at all.

I got the banners to work at school today, which have XP Pro and run through a router and a server, so I think its just something to do with some setting or something... or something... lol.

Daz, if you were refering to the load time of the randomness, it's basically nothing, all it is is a PHP script ( I assume PHP at least ) that scans the directory for files, and randomly selects one.

My Sig image loads a random image each time you see it Nothing major.

Jess.

Yup, it picks one at random each page load. For about the first few hours on the forum it will download them, after that you'll have them all cached (I do anyway). If not, use a decent web browser like Firefox that knows how to cache correctly.

Oh I see, I couldn't see David T's images because of some sort of Firewall.

Rich:
Did you get my email? - I sent it ages ago but haven't got a reply. I'd like the DBP enhancement pack upon release

Also, I sent you a tutorial several weeks ago, but have not had any feedback about it... Do you want me to email it to you again? It might have been something messing up in my email account..

Thanks,
Robin
