Just run the forum through again on the new template, and we get a bit of a slapping on the size of the CSS file, but this is actually to some degree a flaw in the testing, files like CSS files are highly compressible and several techniques will reduce their size a lot as it hits a low speed modem! So whilst it is an area to consider, it really is the images that are the killer to speed. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org
