No such animal. Thanks Bill, and your Incompetent programmers :(

I will solve this, it may take years and a vast research budget, but I shall solve this if it's the last thing I do!

Haven't a clue why the banner isn't showing though. It is in the Galvatron site. :?
Your problem sounds like you're running a firewall with ad blocking. The PayPal and Stardestroyer.net logos sometimes get taken out if you have ad blocking running on your firewall.

Been through the Firewall settings, and the ad-blocking should have prevented the Galvatron banner from showing as well if it was the cause. Anyway the paypal one is sorted and boy have I noticed a lot of Web-comics have Paypal now. :shock:

The ad blocking feature on my firewall is pretty weird. It used to block the pay pal and the SD.net logo but now it only kills the SD.net logo. I can't remember if I fooled around with it to change any of that or not. :?

Yep, but the DigitalTwilight and others all give 32 x 32, and did the picture show up when you clicked on the link?

I notice that Smileys come from an Images folder rather than templates folder, but that doesn't explain why it showed up in Galvatron as that is also templates.

It's obviously something at this end, but I'm damned if i can work out what. I've cleaned caches, gone through firewall settings, pop-up and cookie permissions, the host file twice, rebooted, checked the myriad IE settings. I'm stumped. :?
Try using another browser, mabye it's internet exploder doing it.
