Only first time images are loaded and then cached for later use.
Banners are usually small files, few kilobytes, so I see no how this can be problem.

Itworx4me,
I see no any reason that this hack makes such problems.
Tested on clean board with Firefox and IE. No problems in any of these browsers.

Ok I figured out what was causing internet explorer to lock up. I have it working now and I still see some errors with the script.

I run my board in the root directory. I also run vb-advance. When you view the banners in the forums the hyper link shows http://www.sitecom/http://www.site.com/banners/test.jpg. On the vb-advance index pages the links show just fine. Also I tried to hard code the images into the code and it shows this and the path http://www.sitecom/http://www.site.com/banners/test.jpg. It also give the dreaded RED X on all pages. Not sure how to get the path to work correctly.

Thanks,
Itworx4me
