If you have come to the site asking to have programming done for you, understand THIS IS NOT A REQUEST SITE. If you are having some sort of contest, that is fine. However if you are just coming to ask to have programming done for you, go somewhere else.

Well, yeah you did, you just bolded the wrong part:

Not "how do I do this", but "give me".

heh, stop berating him :p

Vanq, people will probably help you get pointed in the right direction, but no one will write a script for you from scratch. Just remember that next time you ask for help on here :)

now, to help

do you know how to switch images with javascript at all? If not, there are hundreds of sites out there with descriptions of how to do this. Try searching for 'image rollovers' to get the image changing code (even though what you're doing isnt a roll over).

Once you have to code to switch images out, call the function that does it in the following way:
<body onLoad = "imageSwitchingFunction()">

then, at the end of the function, use the onTimeout method to make it wait 2 minutes before calling itself again. its usage is: onTimeout("javascript code here", time in milliseconds to wait);

so, in your case, you'd use:

onTimeout("imageSwitchingFunction()",120000);

because there are (60*2)*1000 = 120000 milliseconds in two minutes

To ensure that the user never sees the same picture twice, you should use a cookie to store a list of images already seen. I don't know much about javascript cookies, so you'll have to research this yourself ;)

I've fixed the /!\ image for you, but please note that before every button on every page which allows you to post says "By posting I agree I have read the forum rules" There is also a link at the top of every page, and in my signiture. They aren't very obscure so all it takes is 4 minutes of your time in order to make everyone's time here more productive. Please read.the.forum.rules...

Thanks!

It's actually alot of trouble to do that, I checked into it. And, after giving everyone many chances to read the forum rules, why should I go out of my way to enforce something that people should be doing in the first place. I'm actually glad that our users are helping to tell the newer members about the rules and alert them to when they are breaking them, it's another way to get people to actually read the rules. But the more they are broken, the more strictly I will enforce them, and the more everyone will hate me. So just follow the fucking rules, because it isn't very hard.

Meh, I can't help it. I'm pedantic, and I was a moderator at LNO for over 2 years (technically still am even). :)

PS w00p w00p points for me!
