I don't understand why there is so much trouble seeing simple pages. Solved Dr T's problem (I hope) and I've added an alt to http://newhamburg.org/ads/ad.html although that alone should make no difference whatsoever. Makes it difficult on a list if no one can see the posted graphic and so would be nice to get to the bottom of it. Have also removed the doctype and metatag If you can't see it now, I suggest you have a serious problem in the system setup of which you are unaware. BTW, are you running Norton? You may have a problem with the charset or 4.01 HTML I think what I will do this weekend is create a directory with different variations of the same posting. List members can then access the various graphics and ensure they can see them. I'll add a system so those who can't view them can indicate what OS and browser they are using. This would allow anyone who needs to post a graphic in future to use the proper format in order for all to see it. It will also tell those viewing the various formats exactly what their system allows and what it doesn't. Will entertain suggestions privately about what browsers, firewalls, and OS's to include. Need version numbers. Back to the business at hand Since this post, I've agreed with Dr T's suggestion that the squiggle was handwritten in afterwards, and I think it was to keep a local politician happy.

Wow! Absolutely amazing! My adblock software blocks it! Your directory is called "ads" and so naturally, adblocker is thinking it's full of ads! Which it is of course. lol! No I don't use Norton, I use Linux! Now I know how to view your posts about ads! Turn off adblocking!
