Don't you need to set up a database for it?
Like all php forums have a MySQL Database.

yes, you may need to point it to the database, I think it is the config.asp page that you need to edit (there are comments in the file telling you what you need to change, though can't remember exactly what you need to do off the top of my head)

Rogeman, yes. I'm sure any language can do that, all it requires is to replace the content and override the content type in the response header. That's now most dynamic image generation works.

Any language? Even HTML, Qbasic, Binary, Javascript, XHTML, XML? I think you mean most lanuage's not any language.

no, I mean ANY language that is used for server side scripting!
When you know how to actually program, you can achieve pretty much the same thing from any language, you just have to approach it differently depending on how the lanauge works. Just because you have seen a few PHP scripts work, doesn't mean you know all about programming!
Also, HTML, XHTML and XML are mark up languages, not programming languages. Binary is not a lanaguage, it is just now computers store information.

No, I used PHP to redirect a image to a PHP file that would pick 1 picture out of 15. There is a SWF virsion but it did not work on forums... I could make somthing like this for you if you want...
