Excellent job. This is exactly what needed doing at long last. Thanks mm. 
There is a slight prob with no line wrap for the line of text below yours.

I don't know if the g8 server is like the docs server - a box on an ADSL 
line under someone's bed. Let's assume so & therefore put all the help on 
the IMC server as that should be a whole lot more reliable. btw dunno if 
you've noticed but there is another help page accessed from a link at top of 
the very front page that has very terse advice on photo uploading. It would 
be good to rationalise the two help pages. It also includes the very dubious 
suggestion:
"While using an image editor to resize you may wish to add text to image 
itself such as a url as images can often be detached from captions."
Presumably someone wants all pictures to look like this:

I rest my case ;-)
