+BeachBuddies Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 It sounds like you might be pointing to a local copy of your image file, such as "C:\Images\MyImage.jpg", instead of pointing to a file using HTTP. You can use the "View Source" option on a cache page with an image to see how it's done. I usually upload my image to gc.com (you can do this the same way you change the image on your profile page), and then link to that. Here's a snippet from a FAQ I wrote about Using HTML on Cache Pages How do I add an image? If the image is already on an internet site, you can just add a link to it. Otherwise, you must upload it to the web site. You can do this by selecting the Edit Profile link on your My Cache Page. Then, select the change/edit link under one of the images (your Avatar or your Photo). Once uploaded, you can select your image to find the URL (i.e., the web address). Then, add the image to your cache page by inserting a link like this, using that URL: <img src="http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/66389_600.gif"> Quote Link to comment

+BeachBuddies Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 It should be the same for all internet users. Yes, you would replace the number with whatever your image number is. If you've added that to your cache page, make sure the select the option that indicates you are providing HTML. If you don't, it won't work. Otherwise, I'm not sure that the problem would be. If you like, you can post the name or waypoint of your cache, and I'll take a look at the page. Or you could post the HTML you're trying to use, and maybe someone will spot the problem.

CoyoteRed Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Replace the tag with this: http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/6fa2376c-...b1b7c6d36eb.jpg That should work for you. Quote Link to comment
