There are more animated GIFs (largish file size), journal entries and reciprocal friends list on the LD page than yours. Turn off the reciprocal friends list for a start. Then consider hiding some journal entries and cutting back on the animations. I'm only guessing at the moment but I could add up the file sizes of the GIFs versus your JPGs and compare source page size too if you think it would help. What I can't do without a digibox myself is establish the precise memory level which shouldn't be exceeded. Do you have more examples of pages which fail? I think Spook's was one.

It did take an age to load either page.
Then saving to disk showed LD's higher risk.
That page was the bigger which could be the trigger.
It never did matter whose was longer or fatter.
Although truth to tell I was using Brunel.
I'll switch now to plain and then try it again.

[at this sort of time tech support comes in rhyme]

hi SEF... hi manda...

we're kinda paying the price of our own success i suppose with the LDers space being rather busy now...

all the A numbers can be accessed through the digiboxes [including the homepage A number] but the U number [U201567] is not always accessible...smiley - cry

my digibox seems to be smiley - ok accessing the U number at the mo' but there have been times when i've been booted as well...

anyway smiley - cheers SEF...smiley - disco

happy easter everyone...smiley - chick

With the A-number you don't get the friends list or journal. The reciprocal friends list is probably completely unnecessary if it simply duplicates the main friends list (and is turned off by removing the command to show it). I'm not sure what you need the main friends list for either since you have a separate page listing the friends of LD. smiley - erm
