well you all know that .php files that display random images from a directory with every refresh can be used as avatars....but I'm having a problem, I use http://tripod.lycos.co.uk as my host and i m linking to http://members.lycos.co.uk/kingoffan/randomizer.php where the script for the random image thing is stored, but when I use it as my avatar, a random image isn't displayed! instead it shows a paper thingy with a red X on it...(meaning the picture can't be displayed)...but when I load the page on my browser(both Firefox and IE 6.0), it displays pictures randomly perfectly...could it be because of the damn frame ads of tripod, or what? i can post the source code to the php script if anyone needs it to help.

i had the same problem, because i also have my avatars in lycos. the only thing you can do, is host the randomizer.php in a server that doesn't send headers/banners and all that crap that lycos puts.

Thx choli
