Hi Diana

I had a problem downloading images from Britishorigins and complained. Here's what I got back from the site...

Mike

I suspect the problem is that we are using jpeg images (because the 1841 images are grey scale) in tiff format and some tiff viewers are not clever enough to recognise these. We shall have to have a closer look at this problem next week when the office is open again after the Easter weekend, and we will get back to you. Please allow a week at least; I suspect that this may turn out to be a tricky problem. I doubt that there is anything "wrong" at our end, but we may have to be a bit more clever with how we deal with tiff/jpeg images and Macs.

Thankyou for using The Origins Network.

Kind regards

I really have no idea what it all means. Help please! What should I do?

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
