Ok I think I have it figured out, but is $groups a site wide variable? I was trying to use {if (in_array("10",$groups))} where 10 would be the group that gets the gif.

I see $groups be defined in user.inc.php but not in showflat.inc.php

I will tell you that my brain hurts, but I am definital getting a better understand as to how the whole board works now.

Thanks again,
Ian
