I lost maybe 24 images not including thumbnails, and yes I backup on cdr/cdrw and my own site. But the question is can I be bothered to reupload? I don't know LOL Sure does suck :/ I know people who lost far more than me :( 1)do all those people who paid $5 extra to upload more than 1 pic a day now get a refund for all the images they may have lost? If not, why not? (Incidentally I'm not one of them). 2)And you never answered Lucy_Fur's point about you purchasing an additional server for precisely this eventuality. What's that about? Thanks a lot! :/ JoeBlack
