Anyone know why my images i.e. signing.gif, the title .gif and sometimes the icons for home page etc. don't come up when the guest book page first opens? They show as missing links until I leave the page - go to admin or to sign the guestbook and then come back. Once I come back they appear. If I refresh the page they still don't appear - and I shouldn't have refresh, guests won't!
Anyone help?

Either change the link to http://www.symidream.com/guestbook/index.php or open up admin/config.inc.php and find and replace it with

BTW you know you could integrate the guestbook into your site so that you don't have to have it open in a new page. Have a look at the guestbook on my site to see what I mean.

Carbonize, thanks for the tips. I've changed the link address on one of my sites as you suggest and it works fine now.
On the other site I've got loads of templates and pages to change and it would be easier to change the code as you suggest, but I couldn't find admin/config.inc.php
I can find admin and the template files (do I need to change one of those?) but where exactly is config.inc.php?

Took a look at your site and I like the way the guestbook in incorporated - are there easy to follow instructions somewhere that an amateur like me could follow to learn how to acheive the same results?

Many thanks again for your help

Did you get the guestbook from here or did your host provide it for you? I hate it when hosts provide scripts as they mangle them and make help harder. Integrating the guestbook into a site is simple but hard to explain. There are threads dedicated to it. Basically you just take all the HTML that will appear before the guestbook and put it in the header.pgp file found in templates, remembering to keep the CSS and body tag in place. Then copy all the HTML that will appear after the guestbook into footer.php.
