In English, I was stating what I did know and that I do NOT know why it is giving problems.
The extra way to get there was in case the first method was the problem.
After my crash I lost my link. I will have to login again and see if I have a problem.

This might be a corny idea, but most of mine are or I would be rich by now.
Bear with me, it does have to do with mugs.
Remember those yellow magnetic ribbons on cars. They are slowly disappearing since they do make the paint a different shade over time and are running their course like a lot of fads.
I had thought about doing custom ones with sublimation maget sheets with the soldiers picture in the center and that still might be a workable idea.
Now the twist. I had thought about doing the yellow ribbon graphic with a picture on a more practical item . . . such as a sublimatable mug for family and friends. I thought it might be an add on item in the showroom but it is still on the things to do list if I ever have time so I don't know if they would sell.
This thread gave me another idea. What unpatriotic restaurant wouldn't accept free mugs with a yellow ribbon and photo of a local hero serving their country and a tasteful ad on the other? Or even just sell them outright to the restaurant if they didn't want the advertising. I think it would also be easier to sign up advertisers with that concept.
You could even put a small line that says if you would like your active duty relatives picture on the mugs, to send the picture to your email address. You might get more orders from that.
I would guess most people would be proud to have their servicepersons picture out there as a public tribute but I would obviously get permission first.

Hi
I'm not sure, but I think that the creator of the "ribbon graphic" was reinforcing their rights about his design, lately.
Should be a good idea to check this out.
