code:
<a href="http://www.msgplus.net/download_contest.php?id=53" title="Click here to download Messenger Plus! 3.50 and participate in the Launch Party Giveaway!"><img border="0" src="http://files.msgplus.net/contest/promote/msgplus468banner1.gif" width="468" height="60" alt="Messenger Plus! 3.50"/></a>

Is the HTML code you are using something like that?

Can you post the code you used?

Upload the image to http://www.imageshack.us

A question: Are you using Norton Internet Security for a firewall?
If so, if you disable it, you will be able to see the images

When i type your code in and save it, it appears.

Could there be a html limit on your website? Or something in the code the host doesn't like?

RE: Question For Patchou by Chris4 on 04-30-2005 at 09:30 PM

What host are you using?

Nothing is wrong with the code. Best thing you can do is go to promotion page, scroll down to the image you want (in your case the second from below)..rightclick the image itself, choose "save image as" and store it on your computer.

Now upload the image to your site, f.e. in a folder you call "images" and change:
<img src="http://files.msgplus.net/images/getmsgplus_bannerbig.gif" border="0" width="468" height="60">
to:
<img src="images/getmsgplus_bannerbig.gif" border="0" width="468" height="60">

I used "images/ in this case as an example, it stands for the path to the image (in this example the folder "images" is in the rootdirectory of your website).

By doing this the image will show even when msgplus.net is down (rare, but it happens). I've done the same on my site, it wouldn't show up onthere either (all i saw was a red cross).
