It's because it's a huge image. You'll get better results if you turn the one composite image into four individual images.

The path is wrong. You have renamed the nKPSkins folder as nKP so the link is broken.

But I renewed the link. It shows the small pic in the post but doesn't enlarge it.

I'll buy that one. Is there an optimum size?

EDIT: I've just reduced it from 931kb to 129 kb. It's still the same.

no, not byte size. dimenstion size.

Take the one image that appears to be comprised of four and slice it into four images. Then link to the four individual images. Then it'll work ok.

The forum is just saying that image 1000x1000000 (made up those numbers, but you get the idea :p ) is too big and shrinking it automatically.

I did reduce the size as well to 480x1200 is that too big? If so what is the optimum? I'm being a pain aren't I? :rolleyes:

400x600 is the size set. Anything larger will be resized.
