Hi Chris.
Thanks for the explanation, I understand we have to wait for this.
My other concern is the way that some how the site ref. is lost when
using site internal links ie. displaying JPGs and the like, I am told by the
sites that this is something to do with the .htaccess script or something that
Voyager doesn't understand, this may mean more to you than it does to me. All
I know is that the site thinks the request is illegal (from outside the site)
and refers back to the front page to register. Some sites are also starting to
use .exe on hyperlinks instead of .html just to display a JPG. I still feel
that they are trying to make life difficult for anyone who doesn't conform,
not the sites themselves (I have found many who are X Amigans who are
shocked to find we are left out of their site) but the folk who design them.
Yours
Dave.
ps. Don't have a go at Ken it was me who started this thread Chris.
