  Re: Geeks and Toys on Netslaves

  Re: Thumbnail menu CGI script

In that folder is the actual thumbnail files and a file called .sizecache. .sizecache contains one line for each thumbnail in the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I still have no idea what he is trying to do. When you access a brickshelf folder it gives you an html page that contains links to all of the thumbnail images.

  Re: Thumbnail menu CGI script
