There's an image in your gallery, I cant remember what it's called but its description is "A planet basks in the glory of its sun". I think it's your gallery, anyway.

EDIT: BTW, can you all see the image? All i get is "REMOTE LINKING FORBIDDEN. PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR ACCOUNT"

Post by: Redfang on August 24, 2002, 04:32:33 am: It used to work... not anymore.

But it of course works by right clicking properties and then copying and pasting the address to address bar. :)

Post by: Kazashi on August 24, 2002, 09:22:14 am: It worked for me yesterday, showed up the "forbidden" pic today, and worked fine after I opened the pic in another window. Maybe having the picture actually open overrode the other pic as linked to in the actual post :confused:

Anyway, that effort is not too shabby. Though the circles sitting on that main axis seem a little too uniform - shouldn't they be bigger the closer you get to the source of the flare? But you said you recently downloaded it, and I'm sure you'll be wanting to play with it further and create better and better results :)

BTW, it's working for me now!
