Rotating images, with fade: first one appears, briefly, then snaps to second. Rest OK

Hi
Great Forum - great theme.

I am using WordPress 3.2.1. and Atahalpa 3.6.7

I have 4 header images set to rotate (8 seconds) and fade (2 seconds).

However when the blog first loads, one of the images appears for about 1-2 seconds and then snaps (not fades) to the second image.

After that all works properly. I am viewing it in Firefox 6.0.2.

Unfortunately the initial load looks a bit naff.

Any ideas how to fix this please? Thanks, Phil

Do a forum search, the cause has been explained many times

Hi Juggledad

I had already done a forum search but could find no example of this precise error that was current versions.

A further search revealed this..

http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...otating+images

which suggests removing spaces and says it is a known problem but is referring to old versions. (And I don't have spaces)

A clue would be nice....

Thanks

Ok, that is helpful. And disappointing.

The bug that is described on that post is different to the one I was seeing where an image loaded and was quickly replaced.

Perhaps that is why I did not find it when I did search.

I have since applied the other three fixes and I now have the "jump to the right" problem that this other post describes.

Oh Hum....
