thanks again all. ive since had to spend the time and put all my images on photobucket, not a big deal really.

i guess to simplify what my train of thought was...

if OpenRPG goes to location A and loads image x.jpg why cant it go to location B and load image x.jpg. im obviously not computer savey enough to answer that question. but to me if it can go to one location (webpage/computer hardrive/internal server/etc) and get images, i dont see why it cant go to another location and add it.

its been explained, i just need to read about the procedure and find the missing link on why it works one way and not the other. websights host the image and it works fine, so if my computer hosts the image, it should work fine too...in common sense theory heh (without having to eat some cherry pie )

im having problems getting my images from my Tree nodes to load. I get the green "fetching" avatar instead of what was there before. This was after spending a week implimenting new nodes and saving them as different tree sets. Then all of a sudden my tree's will not load and i get this error message on load up

i didnt change a thing, just worked all week long, then when i was about to start my online session with my group..poof it was gone. I even used these nodes to test run with 3 of my players at 3 different times each, and it worked fine. Any info on this would be prime and appreciated. Thank you
