Ooooo Woe is me.

I've gone and fixed something that was broken, and now, I'm sure to have complaints flooding in telling me I've broken something that I've fixed.

This is what happened. I was getting messages telling me I had an image missing, remember I said that I had to move my domain name? Well, I set it up so that everytime I had a 404 I received an email telling me so. I went away for the weekend and when I came back I had 400 odd such messages. Most of them concerned one missing image from several sites.
A 404 file not found error occurred on your website www.cybersaps.org with the following details:- URL: http://www.cybersaps.org/images/weblogger1/theme2webloggercom/bg.gif
Date and Time: Tue Apr 22 11:17:41 2003

So now I've fixed it and I see that this site's background is now, erm... correctly white, as the image I've uploaded is supposed to be white. However, the geezer had set his background to be a red colour.

So I'll get a series of complainst from those using the hazard theme saying, 'hey, my background is white, it used to be red, who's been messing with my site!!!!!'

Well, I haven't messed with anybody's template, I wouldn't. I've just fixed a missing image, that's all.

If you want to edit your site's template to remove the white background image, then you can do that yourself. Simply go to your prefs==>advences==>template. Copy it to a text editor (easier than working in the small web page box) and search for '/bg.gif' and delete the whole string: background='http://www.cybersaps.org/images/weblogger1/theme2webloggercom/bg.gif'

There's only one instance of it. Or you could replace the above image with one of your own with a colour of your choosing.

My apologies, but 400 emails, and other people using the same theme and expecting the correct image are my first priority. If you need further help... steve@cybersaps.com
