Would the issue have been easier if DGTALGOODIES showed me a URL and I could have just right clicked on the image and viewd the image path? Yes.
That's why i started this thread because the image dint want to show up.

Putting an image on a page that normally doesn't have that image can cause issues. Should all images use the proper image path including $site_url? Yes.
I am using the new/hot/top... pictures and using same path as they r in header.html

Thanks.
