anyone?..

1) You have two rel=nofollow in your <a> tag. Why? You should only have one.
2) You have the href begin with a single quote and end with a double quote. Pick one of the other.
3) Change & to &amp;

if i remove one of the rel=nofollow i get double the images.

also i have done the " but still no diffrence..
now my code is this..

<td width="25%" bgcolor="#1b1b1b" align="center" valign="top"><a rel="nofollow" href="href="
href="http://bestreptilesites.com/"><img src="http://bestreptilesites.com/button.php?u=findmeareptile" alt="Best Reptile Sites - Reptile & Amphibian Topsites" border="0" /></a>

my whole code is this, its a box, with ranks in it, but the whole code looks like this:

<!--START Ad Banner CODE-->
<div align="center" style="margin: -0px 0px 10px 0px;">
<table width="70%" align="center" border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="#1b1b1b">
<tr>

<!--Ad Banner 1-->

<td width="25%" bgcolor="#1b1b1b" align="center" valign="top"><a rel="nofollow" href="href="

IF that is the ENTIRE code which template is it in? The reason I ask is you have the </body> & </html> tags present and I did not see them in the beginning... it seems your codes are not complete OR you removed some stuff that is needed for it ALL to do right, perhaps the reason Lynne's suggestions were :erm:'d on by you for making double images etc is due to the fact that she suggested what SHOULD normally work but w/ the code being sliced and diced (IF that is the case) then it will do weird things.

Double-Check and let us know what template your in and what this does exactly plus you know there are Award & Rank Mods that will do this for you pretty much right? Just use the search on top right and search for awards or ranks blah blah blah lol.

S-MAN

im in "ad Location, under "edit template"

im using the same coding for my advertising blocks, and just removing the links, and replacing them with the rack codes, it works on all the other 8 i have, just this 1st one is not working...lol

That is incorrect html. Please use an html validator and you will get help with this. Or even use the html tags here and you will see the errors.
(And you still didn't change & to &amp; )
