    I put that into my DLL. It returns True or False. Just a suggestion. The DLL is free, and ready to go.

    Well MVPS code is great because you do not need to include a dll with your exe

    why dont you release your dll as a module so people can use what they need, since it's free anyways you might as well go open source with it.

    hmmmmm......this dll seems to provide the answer to a lot common questions that come up on this forum......thanks

    DOAK- ever think about losing the large graphic for your signature....it looks good in the avatar, but it is too big for your sig....it's cool that you post so often to threads, but it can be a pain to keep scrolling b/c the graphic is too big.

    Actually numtel, there is nothing in there that you folks don't already know. There are no trade secrets. I just made it into a complete package to make mine and other people's life easier.

    You're welcome Kira Roark.

    Daok - does that show in your avatar? i haven't seen an avatar around here in ages. i thought that feature was broken. all i see are empty avatar images. what gives?? but Kira Roark is right, that image is way too big for a signature.

    come on.....shrink it DOAK! (nothing personal!)

    It may be a preference somewhere in the options sections.....
    ah it is.....go to userCP then towards the bottom of the page toggle "Show user's avatar in their posts?"

    I just double checked that Kira Roark, and it was set as yes, so i set it to no, saved, and then reset it to yes, and it still doesn't show up.

    Maybe i'll just delete all my cookies and try again. Thanks anyway.

    I had to copy location and paste it into a new window. Clicking the link didn't work.

    No matter. It's only a problem with this forum. All other forums (besides this vb one) work fine.

    Arrow_Raider - Once you try them, you'll learn what a great help they are, and then you'll love them.
