Sorry this is not working.  I will see what is up and let you all know.  If it continues to not work, then I will take it off. :(

It worked for me, but it kept moving and never pausing, and I could identify only one head.  I thought it was Vespasian.  You do have the portrait heads in front view in your gallery...  Pat L.

I recognized Caracalla, Constantine and Vespasian from left to right.  Not sure about the fourth, was it Maximinus?

The fourth was Galba.  I just selected emperor faces that I thought would be more recognizable from the ones I had that were front facing (for the most part).  I am glad it worked.  It was just something silly I decided to do after I sent a similar e-mail to my family with my wife, son, daughter, and myself as elves!

It doesn't work for me.  :-\

I'm using IE with Firefox/Mozilla.

I should have said: I tried both IE and Mozilla/Firefox.

It doesn't work in either browser for me.  ???

I had run it in Safari 3.  To give Emperor ID another chance, I just tried Firefox 2, and, sure enough, it said Loading, but it wasn't Loading: I gave it five minutes; no luck.  But then I tried Netscape 7.2, just as Mozilla as Firefox, and it ran fine.  I thought Safari didn't count, because it's Mac only, I think.  My IE 5.2 is five years old, so, not surprisingly, it doesn't work; it will barely run Forvm.  But Firefox 2.0 is only a year or so old.

I think there may be some problems with bandwidth from the site.  The first time I tried, it would not work with either IE or Firefox; it would not load completely.  Later, it loaded and worked fine in Firefox (version 2.0.0.11).

The site could have an overload at times due to the volume of people creating their own versions of the dancing elves.  I could not access it for some time after I uploaded it to Forvm.  In the morning it worked just fine.
