    First off: I'm fairly new to HTML & web layout, etc...Jut wanted to get that out in the open off the bat.

    Two days ago I signed up for an account (the pay version, not the free version) with Your Mailinglist Provider to handle sending out newsletters. Today I did a webpage layout, copied the code and pasted it into the HTML body area of the email to be sent. Although the web layout was fine, the images in the web layout showed up as blank squares with little red x's in the test email.

    The images are JPEGs "savedfor web" in Photoshop. Small in size, like 10-12k.

    Out of curiosity, I pasted the code of a random webpage and sent a test email and their images showed up fine.

    Any suggestions as to what I'm missing?

    you need to make sure the image source links are complete, i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/images/yourimage.gif. that should fix your problem.

    Instead of focusing on what you won’t be about, decide what you will be about and make that good thing the central aim of your life. -- Pieter Van Waarde

      But anyone viewing their email offline won't see the images no matter what you do.

        Thanks guys. I read and studied and studied and read and finally realised that they had to be "absolute" links rather than plain 'ole "relative". Problem solved.

          Your perspective is way off, it looks like it's 100cm long

          I think that if you made the faded background image on top a different colour (match a shade of the bottom colour maybe?) the image on the left will work - its actually a nice idea.

          The shapes are very confusing. If it hadn't been pointed out that the left side had a running persons silhouette I would never have figured it out. It just looked like some weird shapes to me at first.

          I am having the same issues as skribe pointed out above... Also the "last page" function is heavily missed but I assume this is something that you guys are working on. I am fully aware of that...

          That's kind of what I thought was the main problem, thanks Red Kittie Kat. I'll be patient, don't worry. :P

          It's weird but the multi-page threads were working for me at first, now they are not. But if I click "latest activity" for the thread at the top, it shows me all the pages. Plus if I just add...
