Re: New Camera from Joaquin Casado and prompt box

George,

Given your concern for usability, I know you will want to know about the problem
I'm experiencing on your site at http://www.pinholeday.org/gallery/. In attempting
to view the April 28, 2002 images, I receive the following message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare maketextimage() in
/usr/www/users/pinhole/WPD/includes/setup.php on line 322 (Windows 2000, IE 5, NS
4.7 and Opera 6.01).

Haven't yet tried NS6. Clues? The 2001 images are wonderful although it's a lot
to click through.
