It all looks fine to me until I try it in Netscape.... Cheers. I'll look into it. Not that the stuff its displaying means anything to
me!!!
Does anyone else experience this in anything other than Netscape??

Well, I'm still none the wiser, but I think I've got rid of the garbeld text and its now displaying some code that I at least
understand.
For some reason its displaying the code rather than processing it though.
I have to go to work now, so I'll have to work on it tonight.... I'm sure you can all cope until then.

Hows that look???
I've completely rebuilt it from the ground up and I 'THINK' its working OK now???
I hope so.
You may have noticed that that the header is now the same is as within the interactive (database driven) parts of the site. For those
in the know, I've rebuilt the home page in php rather than html. At the moment it looks no different from before, but when I get around
to it, I'll now be able to personalise the home page for you. This will mean that non-members will get the home-page as it is now, but
logged-on members don't need to know what the site is all about so will get a summary of their latest activity within the site (Latest
diary entries, current Stoke factor, latest forum posts etc.)
Let me know if all the gobbledygook has gone anyway.
Al.

I don't recall it being gobbledygooky at all. I think you're all making it up.
I'm on IE6 SP1
As an afterthought, Al: Are you doing anything with http headers in your php scripts? There may be something that's
browser-configuration dependent if you are. Though I can't think what it might be.

Phew!!!!
For those in the know (Martin sounded interested)... For some reason since the site has been on new servers with new webhosts, calling
a php script via a simple SSI incldue Virtual command from within a shtml file didn't seem to work.
If the included file had a .php suffix then a load of garbled ASCII text was displayed. If it had a .inc sufix then the php code was
diaplayed instead. It may have had something to do with the http headers though as you said. Basically the http headers were stated at
the top of my shtml file and then some may have been stated again at the top of the php file which confused some browsers... Most
browsers on my Mac seemed to work it out though and it used to work on the old servers which is a little strange.
Not to worry. Its all inside php files now with php include commands which seem (fingers crossed) to work OK... Who knows, by the time
you get back from you hols I may have revamped the home page so that members each have their own individual one!!!... If its not windy
over the next few days of course.
Thanks everyone for helping out...It was a little difficult to fix as the problems weren't always apparent on my Mac.

Glad that all seems ok now.
Just a note of caution on security - name any include files which may contain db user names & passwords as .php rather than as
.inc.
If a user (read - potential hacker) requests a .inc file in a browser, Apache doesn't parse it so the browser simply displays its text
contents - passwords & all. If your include files have .php extensions, Apache will parse it as a php file before sending it to the
user. As there will be no php directives in there to write to the browser, the browser will display an empty page.
Cheers,
Martin

Yep...don't worry, all include files are .php files and passowrds are hidden deep within several includes!! 
I've just noticed that the chat room has stopped working since moving to this new server too... I've taken it away for now until I have
time to work on a new chat room. (I'm working on personalised home pages at the moment)
Unfortunately I didn't build the chat room in the first place so don't have a clue how to repair it... it was pretty buggy anyway, so
its no great loss for now, and we can still use the forums to communicate with each other.
