    Since ive had my phpld directory running, the alexa thumbnails have never loaded up, has anyone experienced this too and is there a solution for it?

    And by that, Sasa means to change your Alexa thumbnail code to

    <img src="http://msnsearch.srv.girafa.com/srv/i?s=MSNSEARCH&r={$link.URL|escape|trim}" align=absmiddle border="1" width=101 height=74 alt="{$link.TITLE}" />
    Code (markup):
    You might need to adjust width & height settings.

    I had the same problem with one of my phpld directories Star-Compass.com. There a lengthy discussion on the subject in the PHLD forum. What I end up doing was to implement "SnapShots" from snap.com. Is easy to install (just add a piece of code) and it shows the home page of the site when you mouse over the link, with no further maintenance needed.

    Take a look at Star-Compass.com and see if that migth fit your need.

    Regards,
    Ray

    Im a bit unsure, to be honest, of what i need to change, i have the following in place in mine:

    <img border="0" alt="" width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=[dirnetwork.com]&amp;size=small&amp;url={$URL|escape|trim}">
