Sophie - Merry Christmas!

(Yes, I'm bored between lunch & dinner)......anyway - thanks for all the great links.

But I see the sticky which I started on Page Size & Loading Time seems to have disappeared.

Any clues anyone?

It was here: http://www.cre8asite...showtopic=15358

Oops. I had linked to it from my blog as well, and it appears that it's missing.

I'll look into it later.

Cool

I'm not sure exactly what happened to the thread, but I was able to retrieve a copy of it from Google's cache.

Unless we can figure out what happened with the original, I will try to reconstruct it over today and tommorrow, and repost it.

Good man there!

[bragadocchio]

I haven't posted that yet Paul.

Will do so tonight.

[send2paul]

I guessed - cos I looked

[bragadocchio]

We are checking to see if we have a database backup of the thread. If we don't, the thread will be reposted, but it will look a little different.

[bragadocchio]

I've reconstructed that thread, and I've duplicated the formatting (and linking) of the posts.

We are going to try to match up those posts with their authors in the database, which might take us a couple more days.
