H2G2's Server Brain Cramp?

Okay... This is suddenly gotten very weird. And it's just today I've seen it.

Seems that the parser is looking for the images for the general layout in a non-existant /images/ directory under my homepage...
eg: www.h2g2.com/U30077/images/whatever/

Not only that, it seems to be looping that for every update of the page. Is this just me?

Make sure you fully-qualify all URLs in your homepage. Don't just say images/fff as that will be translated by your browser to be UXXXX/images/fff

All external images must have the whole http gubbins at the front.

Obviously external images must have the full URL. The only images I wasn't fully qualifying (if any) would have been the ones on h2g2 and those would have been as "/images/image.gif" so it would refer to the root directory and follow the path... But the ones that were giving me fits (and it seems to be remedied now) were the things like green_circle.gif, blank.gif, etc which were part of the (hopes that doesn't try to work now smiley - winkeye> bars... The ones in "www2.h2g2.com/images/layout"... I kept seeing weird bars and non-existing images cluttering the bars, and clicking on links was just looping me back to my page. Very weird. Very glad it's not doing that now. smiley - smiley

Fank Ooo.
