Never seen this with other people's randomizers? (2nd Nov 08 at 3:39am UTC)
I get this when I refresh the page on my image randomizer: See where it doesn't overlap on the old image? I hope I don't have to reupload anything because I just spent 2 hours uploading 495 images to the randomizer Also, is this supposed to change the image only when I hit the refresh button or is it supposed to change when I go to a new page and the randomizer link is also there? Any questions, just ask, I know I never really make much sense when I have a problem

Mind linking me to the randomizer and perhaps where you are using it? As for when it should refresh, it should be both when you hit refresh, and when you change pages and the image is still there. I've done my best to try ensuring that this is what happens. However, due to some scripting limitations that only works best when you upload the images to my server (not the wImg uploader, but the one below that)

http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=pokeman89 The problem with the image seems to have disappeared , wait, I spoke too soon. Maybe it's because some of the images are of a slightly different size? I thought they were all the same. when switching to a different page it only seems to change about 1 out of ever 15 or so times, but my browser has been having a bit of trouble with cookies lately, does that have anything to do with it? Also I don't know if this was tested with animated .gif files, but when the image problem occurs, it eventually goes away but then only that part that originally loaded is animated.

The sizing issue sounds like a browser problem... don't really think I can do much about that. The image changing thing is a known issue. I have worked on that a lot, but the complete fix is a long-term thing. I can't say when I'll be able to get it done. Right now if you must have the randomization on every page load (not just on refresh), you will need to upload the images directly to my server through the second uploader. This is because, at this time, this "guaranteed" randomizer method only works for local images.

It's not absolutely necessary, I just wanted to see what was causing it. I might just edit all of the images through photoshop so they are the same size Thanks for your help, and I guess I will know when you implement a fix on the image changing issue
