XnView is what I use for almost everything to do with images. It opens almost every image file format I've sent it (even old-schooler stuff like ILBM's and XPM's), it does batch renaming, batch processing (resizing, changing colour depth, changing image format, more complicated effects) and makes webpages/thumbnailing brilliantly. I primarily use it to view images, but it does an excellent job any time I need to change a bunch of BMP's to PNG, change a bunch of image sizes/colour depth, etc. HTH

I just click the "Send Comment" button on a banned site then fill in the form. I don't see any posts in this thread (not read others) having a go at John, or any named individual, just the service which people are seeing from E2BN. (Not necessarily the same as the service they receive!) Anyway, it's Friday, near the end of the day, and I have a mug of tea and a chocolate biscuit, so I wish you all the best.

It's not really NTLM auth I'm concerned about just yet (that's next week!), just associating a filter list with a port for now, and how the filter lists work. I'd like: . servers on as unfiltered as possible a connection, since I've seen e.g. "libsexy" (!) get blacklisted, which prevented an update applying . Staff on a "Staff" profile, years 12 & 13 on "Sixth Form", years 7-11 on "Secondary" and naughty users in a horrible primary-school walled garden type cage! The ports bit is just for testing purposes, I'll probably deploy this with either IP or account (group) restrictions. I hope it is easy, so I don't have to bother making our proxy box work with our LDAP groups properly! I thought I could just tell the CACHEBox (horrible capitalisation!) to run on ports 8080-8085 and associate a list with each port, but none of the lists except Secondary seem to work as I expect (all are too restrictive) as far as I can tell. We are running a Samba domain here, so I hope we can get away without a `proper' AD. Does anyone know of a less dangerous way of allowing the Samba account for the CACHEBox enough privs? I'd rather not give it Domain Admin access, just in case... Apologies if it seems like I'm just asking to be spoon-fed, but I haven't thought too hard about this yet, and I don't have any docs to read! I don't expect anyone to spend time on this for me. When Mr. Brain is working at optimum efficiency, I might be a bit more useful.

I have had exactly zero response from any Protex comment form. I certainly have never used intemperate language on these! Sometimes the changes get made (after submitting many requests), but we're never told whether the changes have been/will be made, or even that the form has been received. Fixing these two issues would greatly improve our school's perception of E2BN. If there are too many requests to handle, then I respectfully suggest E2BN need to hire more staff, or change the way they handle these forms, perhaps delegating some of the handling of these requests. If a school purchases a CACHEBox, then I believe they can add sites to the lists. I have never tried this, however. I have had this site: XnView successfully unblocked, so sometimes, the forms do work. If the forms are perceived as not working, then they don't work. Does anyone have any documentation on configuring these boxes? This page: Main Page - E2BNWiki is pathetic. (We have a `trial' CACHEBox 200, but due to lack of docs, I haven't put it into active service. I could just deploy it as an alternative to the upstream caches, since we have a pre-existing Squid box...) Incidentally, I met John H at BETT 2009, and he seems like a really knowledgeable and dedicated guy. This screed is in no way directed at him! PS - I think that 8084 idea is pretty good, but then John H works at E2BN, so whatever... Some sort of verified address for submitting changes seems like a good idea though.
