    I have to admit that I tried to load the "new" pic before I'd removed the old one, so I took all the info out and started again, still no luck.

    There are two long sections that require URL and web site I think, should I paste anything in there ?

    Are you linking straight from the site your pic is on...............sometimes they won't allow that and you have to 'save it' then link from where you save it to here :-/

    I'm absolutely jiggered. The site I've chosen the animation allows you to "lift" them. I have twice been through the procedure , once with a larger pic and then the size suitable for inserting. I also moved it to "my pictures" but then I can't locate it when I'm ready. I'll have another go.

    In a minute I'm going to take a break, as I'm beginning to feel guilty about sitting up here all alone and in any case we are expecting company soon.

    Ref "is my allow animations box ticked", what's that ?. I had no problem when I imported animations for incredimail. Will look in again in an hour or so.

    Here I go poking my nose in again..... :-/

    Ooooh...it's soooo frustrating isn't it...know how you are feeling..only took me 3 hrs to sort it!

    No, don't put anythng in the long website and URL boxes.

    Why not try one from 'harrythe cat' just as a practice one...they have always worked for me and I have Zone Alarm working. You seem to be doing everything else right as far as I can see!

    Keep trying ;)

    Tools/internet options/advanced..................scroll down to 'multimedia'...............make sure box for 'allow animations in web pages' is ticked :)

    If that fails lower your ad blockers :)

    The prase in multimedia was "play animations etc" and it was ticked, so there wasn't anything for me to do.

    I then tried having blocked my ad stopper.........to no avail.

    I need to pog off for another 2/3 hrs, but would be gratefull if you guys would persevere with me over this. Remember, the lasses must be itching to see me in "all my glory" !!!!!!!!!naked as the day I was born !. Don'y let them have a restles night in bed..........wondering.

    In the light of a new day. I made another attempt and hey presto!, it looks as though I've made a bit of progress. Now perhaps this square with the three coloured dots, will mean something to someone? so PLEASE, just a little more patience and we will be there.
