I set the permissions on my server the same as the permissions for the casino images (which I also have installed and works fine) but still no luck. I tried allowing all of the permissions, still no luck. Are there any other permission settings that you might be referring to? I do have vbulletin integrated with vbadvanced on my site.....could that have something to do with it possibly? I'm almost certain it's not your mod causing this problem but I'd sure like to get it figured out.

Do you happen to have anything set up to prevent hot linking images or anything like that?

A 403 error is a server issue, either the files are set to the wrong permissions (should be readable across all 3) or something else is telling the server not to send the image, possibly a .htaccess file misfiring?

btw - IE does the same thing if you try to link to the image directly, before having opened it through the flash, which is why I'm suggesting a hotlinking image prevention trick.
