Thanks for the replies. It seems that it is this particular thread that I am not seeing but I have re-subscribed so hopefully the problems is corrected.

On another note, I haven't had much chance to regularily visit the galleries or comment on images for the past year due to several recent changes (new job, moving etc) but I would like to say that the images that are being posted by mnartist, lmx3d, artbyphil and adorety have all helped to keep my interest alive and help to keep me determined to get back into rendering my own images. Well done and much apreciated to all of you.
