Nope, that's not it, the image files are there, etc. As I said later in the thread, the problem is the URL path is not being generated correctly and that's where the problem stems from.

Unless you are 3.8, it's a template issue on your side. I've only seen a few bugs otherwise with 3.8

[Trek]

I'm using 3.8. It's a template issue, in that the Replacement variable {IF} isn't being resolved before the path is passed to a urlencode function. Where this is happening, I don't know. So, while I think you're right in general, I also think this could be a problem for anyone using a custom template with a custom variable in the images path.

[Ranger187]

Not arguing that. I haven't had any issues in 3.8 on any of my sites but I expect more to pour in shortly with it going gold only a few days ago and people update.

I'm sure VBdev will have some fixes soon as he gets whatever info he needs. I suck at templates.

Same problem here, cant fix the security token thing cuz there is no mgc_cb_evo.js

edit: I added that line to all three .js files and it works now. someone should update the readme
