jTaby, I don't have too much choice really. I have no chance of fixing the version caused error (the one I pointed out and you said 5.12 or something), and I need the web site to work asap. in either way, the web site is very basic and the only place where there is any dynamic content is the news bit, so it doesn't matter that much
