Subject: [FreeHelp] Links not working

Hi All
Well I'm having a bad hair day as they say, I initially posted a query
regarding a particular page of mine not working and then I went away on
Hols. I did not intend to unsubscribe from this forum - but in a fit of
madness did so. So now I am plowing through the archives looking for any
answers. Meanwhile Pat got to me before I did the unthinkable.

Then when I got back, I didn't resubscribe - cause I hadn't unsubscribed
had I!!!.

any way all sorted now and I am still looking for help on this - If you
have already sent to me - I WILL find it in the archives. Still if you
don't know what the blazes is going on - here we are below - Oh and thanks
Pat and Clare (for the reminder - hang head in shame)
