Usericon Maker

[allah_sulu]

I'm using Safari. I get the small box, but the larger one to the right is missing. Not sure why it's giving me problems if you're using the eloui script, I play around on that site all the time.

No idea; I've only tested it with IE and Firefox. I used to have a Mac alongside my PC, but that died a while ago and never got replaced.

I am using the eloui script, the only things I've created are the graphics.

The dollmaker grid on the right, however, uses the completely standard default 80x80 button size...
