Thanks for the replies, and the restoration of my faith that not all has changed in the last 6 months. Seems like those two sites are a quirk and not representative of the majority so I'll simply move on as suggested and leave them off my list for next time.

Cheers for the review MrYum, much appreciated. Colour schemes never have been my forte but I'll take on board the advice about making the images bigger next time - do you mean the full size pics or the thumbs or both?

Re the protected (I prefer the word 'private') whois, yes I'm aware that it's a little frowned upon. I dont have a company name or address to use, so it would have to be my real address and phone number. I'm reluctant to publicise that with the obvious problems that could create, so for now I'll take the knocks that come from having protected whois.
