First off I wanted to thank everyone for there support. You are all a huge help being that I just started looking at tango on Friday and as of today I have something that is actually working. Does the @random function make the images rotate at an even amount or is it totally random like the random function of javascript, where the same picture can show up twice in a row and not an even amount. Just to show you what I am working on check out
