Note to everyone who frequents the www site:

I'm moving all the picture directories into a main "0708" directory. I was going to do it at the end of the season anyway but thought it better to do now. As each season goes by we can't have hundreds of subdirectories of each game right in the main pictures folder.

ANYWAY... some links in the forums might show up as missing pages after this change occurrs. Hopefully I'll find out about them all and can adjust them.

I'm making the changes to the local structure here on my computer now, then will synchronize them with the web server (which is actually located in Texas) and I'm *hoping* it will go smoothly, but there's currently 15,000 files in that main directory so it could be a catastrophe! (with my luck the way it's been going the last 24hrs)

Speaking of the site overall....there are no advertising banners! With all the server space you must use, especially with one of the best video collections around the OHL, are you just paying for this out of your own pocket?

Yes this server is paid for by myself.

Regarding this thread - Yes, I managed to completely f00k up the picture directory last night. I changed the structure here, clicked synchronize so it would take effect on the web server - BOOM. Connections dropped, permissions denied, links not updated, etc..

So I spent from midnight last night until 6am this morning MANUALLY re-correcting all the picture links.

I'm HOPING they load ok for everyone now

First off, thank you for working so hard on this site!

Secondly, the pictures loaded just fine for me.
