Can u help me there too ?

Thanks a lot for ut Attention ..... :embarassed:

What happened to them?!

Yoik, I can't see offhand what's wrong Prometheus. I've not had much trouble with elephants but i have mostly been using the african skeleton. perhaps it's that? Maybe post in the general forum for more responses?
