ramius -
Now the only problem is when a user didn't upload a picture... nothing is shown on Firefox but on IE the classic X of picture missing...
Correct me if I am wrong - but can we place a default pic like /photo/no_pic.gif and use an "else" statement - to fix that issue?

Code:
<a href="{$baseurl}/{$uname}">[img]{$baseurl}/photo/{$UID}.jpg[/img] ELSE [img]{$baseurl}/photo/no_pic.jpg[/img]
I am going to read the php manual section on the "else" command (sorry I know I am a total newbie - I need a book to learn) and see if I can figure a way around it - most likle a PHP guru here may have the answer, but I am going to try! :D
