@pat24 What an excellent analogy.

1. Uninstall Fireworks. 2. Clean the Registry with a good Reg cleaner. 3. Reinstall Fireworks.

@Harish: Wowzer, someone actually posted something sensible. Mind you, I can understand the derision at the cheese. lol I opened this thread because I thought it would be a genuine one about logo design, which would have useful, only to discover that it was actually made to try and blag one by some wanna be outfit called threadspin.......oooooops, I meant pricespin, whatever. It's some kinda spin anyway shall we say. ha ha

Thanks for the heads up. *Yawns* More damned reading. Gah!

@Mesa: You sure did. My bad. I missed that in my haste as in a blinding hurry to get out of the office atm. Thanks for pointing that out.

If even 1 px bothers you as a designer then it can be an incredible annoyance and actually spoil the look of a design that needs to be perfectly tight. 2-3 pixels is too much to tolerate and there are ways around the problem anyway. Sometimes, perfection is absolutely essential. I did find a fix for this once but have forgotten where I got it from. The source was Google though so a bit of research will probably sort this for you. EDIT Just noticed what LYKC posted as I was still writing and that is one of the most common solutions as well as an excellent idea - using conditional statements to link to a separate stylesheet.

Cost is hardly a factor in switching these days. You can get a full php ready environment for less than £30 a year these days.

The most popular automated billing and server provisioning system these days is probably WHMCS. Others worth looking at are ModernBill (not so hot atm and pricy), ClientExec (reasonably well respected) and Ubersmith (more for large operations). Taking a look at all of these will certainly give you some useful perspective although I heartily recommend WHMCS and use it personally. If you have your own server consider also HyperVM If you wish to sell domains and SSLs try eNom. You can get a free reseller account by registering for a trial DL of AWBS, itself an automated billing and provisioning web site in a box. Pretty darn good but nowhere near as good as a site you have built yourself because all AWBS sites look more or less the same. Popular CMSs for hosting sites include Joomla and Wordpress. PayPal for your payment gateway and MaxMind for fraud prevention. You can get a free Maxmind account by registering for a DL of WHMCS. All of the above can be fully integrated: EG WHMCS with Joomla, etc. So, to have a complete site you might consider Joomla as your front end and WHMCS as your back end, etc. WHT is great to stay abreast of the industry right across the board.
