Thanks for posting the link raddersnz, I didn't want to as it would look like I was just trying to make a sale, but seeing as u did it looks ok, (and no I dint put him up to it, honest). Plus all proceeds from the site buy me beer ]-).... oops... um... I mean.... Help pay for chatf1's bandwidth,:D (well it does in a round-about way, and yes I have gone through several GB's this month). Speaking of chatf1, does anyone know whether orcon or any other free NZ based host offers php support ?:| (I only need PHP, not SQL), as I am working on a experimental NZ based mirror which should hopefully reduce lag/loading times over the current USA based setup. Cheers Liam BTW Can a mod please add "NZ" to the spell check, its current suggested replacement is "NAZI" :O	nz_liam (845)
