Default Promblem using $promo for banners

Hi all,

I seem to be having a problem using my $promo in admin to display banner ads, I have uploads the banner to my images folder, I have also tried uploading them to aministration/images. I have used the code below to pull out the banner but nothing

I have tried:

<p><img src="administration/images/Featured.gif" width="468px" height="60px"/></p>
<p><img src="/images/Featured.gif" width="468px" height="60px"/></p>

But nothing, am I missing something. not sure why it should not work ????

Any thoughts ?

Thanks - Jason

Yes because I have used an image which is already used elsewhere on the website

is your site diy-classifieds?
Going though your older posts, although you sig says you are using TemplateCodes and you site looks far from that.
http://yourdomain/images/featured.gif does not exist.
