I created a custom graphic for a couple of my "groups". Admins have a custom graphics, paid members another.

The graphic is 113x25. Everything works great in ie, but in Firefox the graphic does not show up, but instead show the groups name (i.e. presidency, paid member).

If I right click on the graphic in ie I get this:

http://www.utahreefs.com/images/presidency.gif - http://www.utahreefs.com/images/presidency.gif

If I right click on where the graphic should be in Firefox I get this:

http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/..%5C..%5Cimages%5Cpresidency.gif - http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/..%5C..%5Cimages%5Cpresidency.gif

which obviously dosn't work.

I notice the graphics work fine on your website. Is it becuase of the graphic size, name, etc.

I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like for some reason Firefox is URL encoding the ../ to move up a directory.

Try placing the image in the forum_images folder and then change the URL to this location.

Okay,

I have done what you recommended.

It still is not working.

The link now shows up as.

http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/..%5Cforum_images%5Cpresidency.gif - http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/..%5Cforum_images%5Cpresidency.gif

Any help would be appreciated.

Your slashes are the wrong way around should be / not \
You don't need to move up a directory if the image is in the main 'forum_images' directory, you just use 'forum_images/imageName.gif'
