(please note... i'm a novice and do websites for fun!)

Argh!!! I'm having a bit of rubbish time.... I'm putting together a website called www.pinup-parade.com, to showcase European-based vintage-style pin-up. Obviously this involves using photos. But because I really don't like clunky galleries or flash-heavy ones, or the kind of galleries that are a headache to customise, I thought the easiest option would be to have a simple table with a thumbnail in each cell, and then on clicking the thumbnail, a pop-up of the full-size image.

I've just put up the first gallery, and I'm pleased with it. It's clean, and it needs a couple of tweaks, but it does its job. I've tried it on 4 different computers (one at home, 3 at work) and they're all fine.

I've sent the URL to some friends, and some can get on the page - but curiously some people can't get the page to load at all.

Initially I thought this was because the site was down, but it can't be down that much! My thought is that perhaps some browsers or virus thingies are so geared up to block pop-ups that they won't even load a page if it contains pop-up script. Would I be right? I have a suspicion that it might be UK-based AOL users who can't get on the site.

The way round this would be of course to have a separate page for each full-size picture, but it would be a bit annoying and would fill up my directories....

Does anyone know a way round this? If you can help, you get to look at pictures of pretty ladies in old dresses!

Click here to see the page - and if nothing loads, let me know!

Edit: Someone's just said that they can't get on that page, nor even the site's front page. It's an add-on domain (or parked or something... the terms confuse me), so it's actually hosted within rockinscene.com

Could it be a problem with the url pinup-parade.com not resolving properly? But I don't understand why it would work for some people and not others!

If you can't getthat link up there to work, try this one.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Edit #2: The people who couldn't get it load before now can... But I don't understand what was going on. This hasn't happened to me before!
