Forget about "make from URL". If you want to use a logo from http://www.userslogos.org, click on the small logo in the listing, right click on the larger desired logo on the next page, select "save image as" to your hard drive. To apply the logo to a FVD dial: right click on the dial, select edit, select preview tab, select make from local file, select the file on your hard drive that was saved from userlogos.org, click Open, and finally click on Modify dial.

Using Google images works about the same but many of the images may have to be re-sized or edited. I use a combination of Irfanview and Paint Shop Pro.

UNcheck the Autoupdate box. That only updates (refreshes) the graphic. It does NOT update the site URL.

If I am reading this right, you modified the fvd dial. It should only refresh once if Autorefresh is OFF. Why didn't you just make the fvd dial originally from the second page? Editing the dial URL has always caused problems for me. I usually delete the incorrect dial and add a new dial with the preferred URL.

FVD should save a copy of dial images (both local and URL) to your profile FVD. Look at the settings drop down and go to Sync/backup. You can save a backup of FVD dial setup. For the six versions of Firefox on my computer, this is how I keep them synced. It is much faster than cloud syncing. On start up FVD uses graphics from the local extension information EXCEPT any dials that have Autorefresh ON. It then will have to reload those from the page URL site, the graphic URL site or the original local directory location. Depending on how may dials have to refresh, this can drastically slow down starting FVD.

im still confused,but understand little bit because of iam newbie to fvd dial.i understand one point so if we modified this url to set nextpage it refreshes once ,is there any option available autorefresh.if this page consists of 6 pages,i added 1st page in fvd dial.later 2nd page is available,so i just edited and and set page t0 2nd page.so ur option is add 2nd page as a new page to fvd dial and deleted the old fvd dial which consists of 1st page.ismy above explanation is correct?

When the dial is in any way modified, it ALWAYS refreshes that entire dial in the database. That is the way it is supposed to work! Changing the page url is no different that changing the graphic. The dial information is just fields in the data record of a database. Why bother to mod the dial frequently, when you can click on a page number after you have clicked on the dial? One topic I am following on Mozilla has 47 pages, I just redo the dial every time it is 5 or 6 pages behind. Have you found an alternative that can accomplish what you want?

I didn't realize that there was a question in the above statement. On MozillaZine the page range can be found at the top and bottom right of a page. The page numbers shown are click-able.

If I go to a site and the page count shows four or five pages beyond the current dial setting, I redo the dial. FVD Speeddial is for static dials (bookmarks). It is not an RSS feed or a live bookmarking system. If you are going to sites where there is a lot of keyboard diarrhea, you may want to look for other options.
