There is no real record or thread, and you still have to visit multiple sites to review the latest postings. I agree the image square is slow in parts, but you learn to "work" it, and it works very well. I'm not suggesting it is the best solution to this, and I'm sure there are others who might have a better one. To be honest, I cannot run these cgi boards, and we would need to find someone who could cheers - -- Alastair Firkin http://www.afirkin.com
