Posts: 257Hi Kris, you're in the right place :) Welcome!
The slider is 630 pixels by 310 pixels, so images that size will be golden.
Sorted!

Posts: 3I added an image as a Featured Image to the Laptops page and it doesn't show up in the slider. The page is selected as a Slider page in the eFrog template options. Ideas? http://not.notesfromkris.com/~comsolut

George has been on a holiday for a few days, with all the sun at the pond he had to take some time out so I'm jumping in to assist you.
To get the featured images working, they need to be 630px by 310px, they need to be added to the various pages as featured images and under the eFrog Options area, you need to click through to DESIGN and assign the pages to the slider under the slider area.
I've just tried it my side to make sure that it will work and it does indeed..

The featured images aren't showing up...
Under eFrog Options, Design Tweaks we have two pages selected under 'Slider Settings' and they are rotating blank images and clicking through nicely from the home page.
I opened the page for editing, selected Featured Image, selected a 630x310 image which, when viewed under Media library does show it as attached to that page.
Any other ideas? http://not.notesfromkris.com/~comsolut/

Posts: 257Hi Kris,
OK, as promised, feedback :)
1. We've upgraded your installation of Enterprize.
2. We've upgraded your version of TimThumb.
3. The problem is being caused by the use of the ~ (tilde) in the URL. We understand this is a test site, but we wouldn't recommend using that in a production URL. Anyway, it seems that TimThumb is unhappy with the image paths that contain a ~, and that's why the images are not showing in the slider.There is a hack, involving hardcoding the path into the TimThumb PHP module, but we're not keen on that approach.
We simply suggest using a more standard URL.
Enjoy!
