I don't want this to be taken the wrong way, Fyron, so please don't (we so often seem to get confused at each other's responses).

So, help me out here. Why does it display for me without any problem? Alneyan has complained of the same thing. Could it be because you and he use a different browser than IE and "it" isn't as tolerent?

I want to post it so it can be read, obviously.

Thanks for any explanation you can offer.

URLs should never have back-slashes in them "\". It is wrong (well, there might be a few cases of weird scripting Languages using "\" as part of a function call, but for normal URLs, bad). All slashes must be forward-slashes "/", as per the standars set forth for URL structure. IE apparently has yet another hack which breaks the rules and allows "\" to be used. This problem arises from IE being used as the file manager shell in the recent Versions of Windows... Standards-compliant browsers do not accept "\" in URLS. This is the correct URL address of the image, which will work in all graphical internet browsers:

http://se4-gaming.net/images/ship.jpg

Now, I may have had a typo in the URL when I fixed the slashes and tried to view the image manually, as it was not appearing Last time I tried. It will load fine now, in a new window with a corrected URL.

Thanks, Fyron, for the explanation. Must be IE's allowances. I'll try to remember that in the future.

For "old time sake", I'll mention a pet peeve of mine (well, that's because I'm old and remember these things):

All the time at work (working in IT), I hear people say "forward slash" and "back slash". Before computers came about, there was only the "slash". When computers (and paths) became an everyday word, people felt the need to call a slash a "forward slash". I've always maintained that there is a "slash" and a "back slash". Of course, this reference is not half as bad as this one (that I hear all the time!): a "forward backslash" .

Now, the purple in that image looks good... it was the combination of dark grey and darker purple, with huge massive parts purple and huge parts grey, that was bad...

Just a comment...

I have LOTS of respect for people who will go through all the trouble for all the componets to make a shipset and "give" it away.

Considering that, I hesitate to make comments because I'm too lazy myself to do stuff like that. On the other hand, I don't want to let people who are doing that kind of work think than hardly anyone is paying attention, so I try to give my opinion when I "feel" something.

"Shiney"?

LOL...you sound almost like a Firefly fan. I hopped on this because I will be doing the following at Dragon*Con this year:

(1) This weekend, meeting to help build a Firefly float for the parade at Dragon*Con;
(2) Manning the Firefly booth to promote the show on Sunday (of the Con);
(3) Donated $50 for printed materials for the "effort";
(4) Wifey and I spent over $250 for her to dress like Zoe and be in the parade.

There is a small select group headed by a guy here in Atlanta and a lady from Florida helping make "Firefly" become a part of Dragon*Con for years to come. So far, if you are familiar with the short-lived series, Nathan Fillian (Mal), Kaylie (Jewel Staite), and Jayne (Adam Baldwin) are coming and our group hopes to have a close and personal meeting with them (SO KEWL!). But, who knows.

Anyway, I will be sure to post pics of D*C like I did Last year.

Yes, well, he did not painstakingly create a new ship. The model was just a base that TC made in 3 minutes to put the textures on...

I was just taking in general about people who design shipsets. Not sure if TC is looking to do that but it seemed like an appropriate spot to mark my appreciation for those people who DO spend the time to make a shipset.
