Nathan,

FWIW, Your page downloads from smugmug OK (from http://wajsman.smugmug.com/)
which is a big improvement. I can't tell yet whether I can pick an image from
there. It seems to revert to the usual problems with smugmug if I try, but 
that
may be because you haven't transfered it all across yet.

But I say FWIW because I am suspicious of your explanation. I have the same
problem with anyone on the LUG or elsewhere using smugmug so it doesn't seem 
to
be restricted to you. It may be that:

(a) The explanation given is only partially correct (or wrong!)
(b) Smugmug are trying to do something clever with their site which hasn't 
yet
appeared in the explanations
(c) I have a problem with my system but then I would expect more problems 
trhan
I do have

At present your pages don't work for me beyond the front page on either IE 8 
or
FFX 3.5.7 (both over XP). HOWEVER  it **does** work fine on Safari on my
iPhone!!!!!!!!!!!! (ie Safari over OS 3.1.2) or on FFX 3.5.7 over Ubuntu 9.10

I don't know what this says except that my feeling that it might be some
MS-specific coding seems to have gone out the window.

Does anyone else have problems accessing it specifically over XP??

Regards,

Peter
