    Baldy is mucking around with things.
    He'll get it sorted eventually.

    Sorry JMJ but I can't see the pics you have copied - there were a few interesting crossings. The Mitchell river was the important one that we had to make a call on. It was 500 km by road to go around so we elected to bypass that one early on. We made the right call. It was pretty much impassable.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Definitely an IE8 issue... red crosses. Heck it can't even display some of the site icons in the top toolbar!!

    FireFox 3.6x and 4.0 beta, and Chrome, all work properly. Actually, I take that back: Chrome doesn't display the icons (hosted at cloudfront.net) but does display the attached images (called from advrider.com).

    That's via Kinect on WinXP Pro 32 bit. Later will fire up Win7 which has IE9 beta, Safari and Opera, plus a Win7 64 bit too.

    Interesting to hear how widespread the current DNS issues are. We have quite a few customers at work having issues - in several cases timed with network hardware upgrade so of course that was the first thing blamed. I've also fallen in to that bucket - just installed an ADSL2 modem, and now I have to click KB links twice to get anything to happen - no timeouts, just no action. advrider has been fine the whole time.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    ADVrider has got a lot worse since Baldy broke it earlier this evening, all the menu images were displaying fine even in IE8 but since it came back up it's been pretty bad.

    What I don't understand is that I have been with IE8 all along and it used to work - so something has changed.

    JMJ, that crossing was Nolans Brook. The water was about 2 meters deep and the family in the background told us that the last guy who dropped his bike in there took two and a half days to get it out again. The gaps between the logs were just wide enough to take a bike wheel and the luggage made us pretty top heavy, so yeah, my pulse was running faster than the DR. The 4WD crossing about 100 meters to the right was bonnet deep on a Landcruiser and so too deep for the bikes.
    Jamie took both those photos. I think that he took most of the good ones.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Ask most programmers or web developers and they'll likely tell you Firefox is a far superior browser, IE is only widely used due to Microsoft's marketing efforts, not product quality

    I believe when the upgrades to advrider were recently done the way image paths are handled and served to the browser changed. IE8 would have displayed images fine before the changeover, but after the changeover IE8 could not correctly handle the image paths. Firefox still displayed images after the changeover as it is a more robust browser with the ability to handle dynamic/parsed image paths
