Re-done the page and it still won't load the image (yet the image is loading in the editing section of Wordpress :confused: I'll try re-uploading the image to see if that helps...

Bizarre! :eek: Try these troubleshooting tips:

- When you re-upload the image, give it a different filename (although can't see the filename being an issue)

- Remove all quotation marks from the image's alt text or title text, as the WordPress HTML editor may interpret these as HTML commands

LMK if that doesn't work and I'll have another look... :)

Take care... :)

Fixed it. It seems the alt text was too long :rolleyes: I shortened it and the image loads.... how crappy is that? :rolleyes:

Hey guys, just to LYK that I haven't forgotten that the Classic Merchandise area needs an index page (or actually half a dozen index pages) creating, it's on my to-do list for the coming week or so! :)

Also, I took a massive liberty which I hope it was OK to do, and asked two of our forum members whether it would be OK if we could add a piece that each of them has in their collections to our site - I've never, ever seen these before and so took an executive decision to ask whilst there were pics online we could grab! ;) I really hope this was OK to do. :)

Here are the threads with the items in question, I personally would love to find one of these magnetic board games as it looks like something I'd have loved to have as a kid! :)

Will let you guys know when I've done the index pages - as I say, just wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten! :)

Take care... :)

Just to let you guys know that, after many delays caused both by my hectic schedule and lousy memory, the Classic 1980s Merchandise Section has now launched! :thumbsup:

http://www.thundercatslair.org/collectibles/classic-1980s-merchandise/

There are a few bits and pieces already lined up to be added to this - I've added all the UK Annuals today, and I'll jump on the rest (such as the two items I mentioned in my post immediately above this one) ASAP! I also have some items in my own collection to add! :)

Anyway, just wanted you guys to know that this is now "live" on the site - well done to Neil and MannyC for all your hard work on the pages that make up this section, you guys rock! :thumbsup:

Take care... :)
