Hi, yeah I did try that, not because I doubted what you were saying but to find the reference so I could tell my hosts what was being used to change the permissions. They think it’s script related so won’t assist – I don’t think they actually know what the problem is so they’ll just say its a scripting problem :-\
I can change the permissions on the folder after they’ve been uploaded so it’s not a big problem.

The missing images on the sales page is related to _resized folder after I’ve changed the permissions they display.
