Many thanks for the quick responses. I tried pasting the URL directly into does display the image as suggested, and it does display the image OK. I also tried changing the name of the tmp directory, to no avail. I am sure you are right though and this is something to do with Plesk. I've posted the issue on one of the Plesk forums but had no response. Regards Alan Hale Aberystwyth Wales No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
