(...) While lugnet.castle.ninja may have some good reasons to exist, I'd hate to see the others. The traffic volume in .castle just isn't that high.

Todd et al, I have a minor problem with the way that FTX handles image sizes. It appears that if an image is resized, the system "remembers" the old size and squishes the final result. See some examples in the header images of my member pages. Does (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
