Blender texture question.

[xxcomrad3xx]

So i made a rifle and im having issues with textures. I had the textures and everything setup so i could see them perfectly fine in the object and texture view. and everything should be linked fine. but when i moved some files to another folder, and reopened my rifle parts of it were pink and missing the textures. what have i done that it does this? is there a way i can permanently attach the textures to the rifle so i dont have to worry about missing textures?

If you move the textures, you are going to have to tell Blender where they were moved to. Go back to the texture panel and re-select the attached image file.
