And it's a fair bet that it's full of hundred kilobyte files, and ever a few mega byte ones that get the browser to rescale them down to just 200 pixels. > Some web designers should be hung, drawn and quartered :-) Too true. Currently I'm rather peeved at my webhost, though. They've done something without informing me, and my website stopped working properly (no SSI nor CGI). I sent them a note and they half fixed something, but broke something else. I spent 20 minutes chmoding every HTML file, bar two, on the webserver, to get things running again. I'm guessing they swapped some hardware and badly copied files over, or did something similar with a bad backup. Grrzzz, sodding idiots, you don't presume that all files on a web server are rw-,r--,r--. You restore files with the permissions that they used to have. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
