markhawker Posts: 511 Joined: 5/31/2004 From: Leeds, UK Status: offline	RE: site rebuild - please compare and criticize - 7/1/2004 14:42:07 Good idea, either e-mail us all with the original file and we'll have a look at it. Another option would be to use a PNG. You seem to have the biggest tools of the trade in your palms so I'm sure there's something we can all do! _____________________________ Mark Hawker my business - http://www.thebubblejungle.com/ facebook - http://www.thebubblejungle.com/facebook/ web hosting - http://www.crucialp.com/ (in reply to d a v e)

That's great that it is now at half the size, will load a lot quicker. I have Palatino! _____________________________ Mark Hawker my business - http://www.thebubblejungle.com/ facebook - http://www.thebubblejungle.com/facebook/ web hosting - http://www.crucialp.com/ (in reply to d a v e)
