I've used Webdwarf for years to design my web page. I use images as buttons to link to other pages. In the last few months, when I add an image it shows up in the wrong place and resized with the wrong aspect ratio. I've seen sitespinner users told to uncheck relative positioning/resizing in the bottom toolbar but in WebDwarf I can't find this option (no bottom toolbar).

To try and get around the problem, I tried just inserting text linked to my other pages (rather than use an image) and, depending on the browser, it either takes a very long time to load the page (Opera) or never loads the text at all (IE).

Images that I haven't edited in a very long time still work OK...it's just new changes I make that don't work properly.

Do the images change size or relative position as you re-size your browser window? If so, that would indicate that you have relative positioning and/or sizing on.

In WD, you don't have those options, but there are still ways that those options might be turned on.

This is probably a good time to re-install WD, and while you are about it, update to the latest version V2.50f. (Help > Check for Updates.)

If that does not fix your problem, can you post a link to a problem page? Also what is your project name for that page? This is one of those problems where we may need to look at your project file -- something strange may have happened to that.

I updated to 2.50f yesterday-it didn't clear up the problem.
Here is the link to the page...it's a good example because it's divided into 4 squares...3 of the 4 haven't been edited in a long time and the buttons are correct for them (you can tell because the buttons match their backgrounds).

However, the first box (labeled "Cryptic Crawl") shows the problem...in the editor, those buttons match the background pictures fine. In the html, not only are they the wrong size, but the two buttons don't match each other (note the 2002 and 2003 buttons don't look like the same font-they are).

In addition, the buttons seem to take a very long time to load - this was never a problem in the past.

Thanks for your response!

I created a page with nothing but one image on it so I could rule out other page elemnts messing things up and the page with the single image was also distorted. I gotta believe something's different about the old WD I was using and the more recent ones.

I think you will find the new WD is an improvement on the older one -- even though it might not seem so at the moment

The two problem images are actually scaled in the html code, while the good images are not. Because your original images include some background, this background, which is also scaled, falls out of alignment with your real background.

The easiest solution is (or should be!) to reset the scaling -- Quick Editor > Object tab > Reset button.

Another option is when you create your button images, to set GIF format with a transparent background. GIFs made with Web Dwarf have an an automatic transparent background. So, even if you later scale the button images, there is then no button background to interfere with the real background.

The slow loading is caused by your stat counter (obj45). Tracksy.com appears to no longer exist, so the browser is fruitlessly waiting for a response from there. Don't know why that should hold up your new images which appear after Tracksy in the code -- I thought browsers could multi-task in this area.

If you want to keep Tracksy, I suggest send the code object, obj45 'To Front' -- button on the bottom toolbar. This should set it to load last, so even if it is slow, it shouldn't hold up anything else.

Wow-I don't even use tracksy anymore...dunno how that slipped in there! I'll give those suggestions a try-thanks.
