But they get to preview the upload before they post it (and abort if doesn't display) which has cut down on the trash. But as I said, it works for most, and for every user on XP / IE 6.x who gets a broken image I have another who can load it just fine. My current theory is that popup killers or other security software doesn't like the numeric image file names (or the two dots) but I don't have enough evidence (or understanding of those utilities) to know for sure. ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
