I recently changed hosts and had to redirect the domain - but the
site currently looks fine to me. Is anyone else having the same
problem?

It's been u/s for me for about 3 days Dave, the home page shows no
graphics, just a page full of failing links...

(Using BTInternet & IE7)


Ah, now I see. How bizarre... this just proves that you should
always check your website in multiple browsers!

Hopefully I've just fixed it, if you refresh it/clear your cache...


Yes, it looks fine now (Windows XP Home and IE6). As some of us also
have websites, and may be interested in what browser incompatibility
caused such a disastrous problem, can you say what the nature of the
problem was (and the cure)? I for one would be glad to avoid it in future!

Anyway, welcome back Dave. Your site is much appreciated, as witnessed
by the concern that its temporary demise caused.


Thanks very much! The slightly odd incompatibility was that I had a
base href="/" tag in the header, which I needed when I was moving
stuff over to the new hosts before I redirected the domain. Apparently
Firefox can cope with that combined with other links beginning with a
slash, but IE throws a wobbly.
