Hello,

Not really sure where I should be asking this question so I'll give it a go here....

I am unable to see some graphs posted on the website and some avatars, instead I see a small red cross. I have moved recently so is this due to increased internet security at the firm I work or can I change a setting on my browser?

Thanks in advance!

Try clearing your browser cache. That often cures problems like that.

Or of course it could be the forum server is too slow.
Still OK for me though.

WE need new hosting... we are overwhelming the old one.

Suggestions are welcome

I'm looking for something cheap enough, that the modest advertising revenues here will pay for thr hosting
and some modest admin. I wonder if anyone would take that on?

My idea is to avoid subsidising GEI from my own pocket

Hi Bubb

I run some small websites off www.hostgator.com, but the websites are tiny and will have nothing like the usage of GEI I imagine. One benefit is that if you have multiple domains, you can host them all off the same account with no extra cost.

Otherwise www.one.com is also very cheap, although I have no experience of using them.

I have hosted a couple of small sites with UK based www.34sp.com and been very impressed with their service.

Even with £20 per year hosting their tech guys would reply and sort out issues within minutes.

If you are surfing at work the company firewall/security software might be set to stop certain type of images from downloading, so changing the browser settings or clearing the cache will not work if that is the case.

12 May 2009. In 2007, 45% of all mortgages were advances made without the lender checking the consumer’s stated income. Much of this was “fast-tracked” business although a substantial and increasing amount was self-certified lending. Many of the specialist lenders heavily marketed and sold self-certified products and a large percentage of these have led to correspondingly high levels of arrears and fraud.

I think you are on the money, sat at home, and everything is dandy. Might have to stay at home more, might not be the one making that choice.... ohmy.gif
