Problems viewing gif files in CMPS module

[attroll]

I have created a sponsor block on my front page. Within the sponsor block I have included a GIF image with the sponsors name. Most of my users can see this image. I can see this image. But I have some users that can not see that image. It is not just with a specific browser either. I have some with IR6 and one with Mozilla. I have had them all do a screen refresh and the GIF still will not show up. Why are there some that can not see it?

Here is the code I am using in my adv_portal_sponsor:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vboptions[blockbullet]$mods[title]</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow"><span class="smallfont">

<center>

<a target="_blank" href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=811$session[sessionurl]">
<img src="http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/images/sponsor/sherrill.gif" alt="Logo or Name here" title="WhiteBlaze sponsor for the month of November" border="0"></a>

</center>
<br>

If you would like to be a sponsor for a month and have your name or logo in this spot please click the donation Link
<br>
<center><A HREF="http://whiteblaze.net/forum/sendmessage.php">Willing to donate link</a>
</center>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Strange... This is just a wild guess, but try removing the 'http://www.whiteblaze.net' part from the front of the src tag.

Brian, I removed the 'http://www.whiteblaze.net' part from the front of the src tag and it is still gives my selective users that can not view the GIF the same problem. Any more suggestions? I am keeping my fingers crossed hoping you will know why.

Sorry, but I have no clue what else could be causing that...

Maybe it is in their browser setting dealing with there cache. I have no clue either that is why I was asking. Hmmm.

That image was the last to load when it appeared in my browser. How about adding some height & width tags to give it space if it's slacking?

OK. I have some more information from one of my users. I sent him the link below and told him to click on it.

www.whiteblaze.net/forum/images/sponsor/sherrill.gif

After he clicked on it he said: "The link you sent is a blank page to my computer".

I am hoping this will help in solving the problem. Because I don't know what is causing it.

Im not having any problems viewing that gif inline or just as an image

You may want to try asking there. It's a huge forum with experts in just about every field, so there may be somebody there with more knowledge about the problem.

Did you save that GIF as an 87a or 89a format? Maybe you used one that's incompatible with your users' browsers. Maybe in the meantime you could use a PNG or JPG while you figure it out.
