@NicolasRobidoux Thanks for the heads up about Flattr...Cristy has been flattred!

Defiantly better then beer since in 20+ years of using forms only one person has ever taken me up on it!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks again for all the discussion, especially about the what came first the chicken-before or the chicken-after.

Basically, I have been 'guaranteed' the before (320x240) is the real before and the after (640x480) is really the after.
The reason, the real estate board only sends out the 320x240 ...

After a day and a half of reading, testing, trying I am turning to the community for some help.
I am stumped, thought I was getting close but at this point I am just guessing. And it seems this has been solved many times before.
