Hmmm... yes... this is odd. As this appears to be how the newsfeeds are
being sent to the site... the RSS feeds etc.... if I change to another
newsfeed (say "BBC News") or something it seems to do it the right way
around... so it must be deliberate.... I thought it looked odd too, though !

How odd! On IE6 mine does not throw any errors at all...

Yes, I prefer to install mambo under a sub-directory and then re-direct.
Just personal preferance, but it makes it easier if in future one wishes to
migrate to another Portal/CMS etc. -- should not upset search engines etc.
as they will simply link to the /mambo directory anyway.

I can sort it easily enough I am sure. But I am confused as to these
"errors" as I cannot make them happen under IE6... can you find out a bit
more about what your contact has done?? Does he have some sort of "Advanced
Debug" facility on ? If so, if he lets me know I can turn same on and we'll
see what happens....

Hmmm... can you send me the error report from the analysis site?
