Code won't save in global header

[Todge]

<script language="JavaScript">

function random_imglink(){
var myimages=new Array()
//specify random images below. You can have as many as you wish
myimages[1]="http://i.imgur.com/t4yBTRt.png"
myimages[2]="http://i.imgur.com/VF9sCt2.png"
myimages[3]="http://i.imgur.com/KfFvWEC.png"
myimages[4]=""
myimages[5]=""
myimages[6]=""

//specify corresponding links below
var imagelinks=new Array()
imagelinks[1]="http://movie-tv-books.freeforums.net/page/mtvb-book-club"
imagelinks[2]="http://movie-tv-books.freeforums.net/page/mtvb-book-club"
imagelinks[3]="http://movie-tv-books.freeforums.net/page/mtvb-book-club"
imagelinks[4]=""
imagelinks[5]=""
imagelinks[6]=""

var ry=Math.floor(Math.random()*myimages.length)
if (ry==0)
ry=1
document.write('<a href='+'"'+imagelinks[ry]+'"'+'><img src="'+myimages[ry]+'" border=0></a>')
}
random_imglink()

</script>

With your code above, the green opening tag is an older way of doing things.. It should still work, but try replacing it with ..

<script type="text/javascript">

Also, the red bit at the bottom should be removed. It was originally used to ensure that your code wasn't displayed as text in browsers that don't support JS, which is no longer needed, and as it doesn't have the accompanying opening segment to go with it, it will effectively break your code instead.

I've tried that but nothing, it's driving me insane.

Do you have anything else in your global headers? 
Even if you don't see it save, do you close your global headers and go view the main page to see if it is there? (By the way, remember, it is a random code and since you have no images in the last 3 you may see nothing until you refresh a few times and if you are using a mobile device not on desk top view, javascript will not work. Sorry if these are dumb points to make, just want to cover all bases.)
At this point, we may need to see your forum. If you don't feel comfortable posting it here, then you could pm me or Todge (but please wait for Todge to say it is o.k.) because Todge is the coder and I'm not. But at least we could get an idea what all you have going on on your site and try to pin point the problem. This is baffling me too as I can throw the most insane gobble-dee-goop of code in my global headers with hundreds of mistakes and wrong tags, etc. and it will still save so this just doesn't make sense to me.

Here it is on my test site working fine. putteraround.boards.net/

Nope, I deleted everything else in my global headers, I usually open my forum in another tab, so I can have the global headers page close at hand incase I need to change anything. I've also waited a while and refreshed a bunch of times in case the blank images were showing.

I'll be happy with posting my forum here if it helps with getting this problem solved, and I'll wait for Todge's response. Right now my forum is guest restricted, should I change the settings to allow guests in case Todge says it's ok?

[Todge]

By all means, post your forum link here, it will need to be open for guests to view for either Tumble or myself to see it though. If you prefer to PM your link, then feel free also.

[Heildgar]

Alright here it is:

movie-tv-books.freeforums.net/

Do you need to make an account or can you view it as guest?

[Heildgar]

So I've tried posting it from another browser, and from another computer, but it still doesn't work.

[Todge]

Have you tried replacing the opening tag with a simple '<script>' tag?

[Heildgar]

Still doesn't work,

I've tried a different code


<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://movie-tv-books.freeforums.net/page/mtvb-book-club">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/t4yBTRt.png" alt=" " />
</a>
</div>

And it works, sadly it doesn't randomize the images like I wanted to and it can only hold one image at a time, I think it works because it's a "<div"

It's a possibility that security software installed on the computer could be preventing the injection of <script> tags

[Heildgar]

I've tried posting the same code from an entirely different computer, but I have double checked my security software and there is no such restriction.

[Todge]

Try this..

Random Banner.pbp (559 B)

It's your exact code, just inside a plugin. You can get into the code to add/remove images by clicking Manage Plugins and selecting it from your list.

[Heildgar]

I uploaded it, but when I try to change the settings, it comes out like this.

[Todge]

Sorry, I meant 'Build', not manage.. My bad.

[Heildgar]

ALright, no prob, trying it now.
