Okay, it looks like the version of my site is pretty much gone as I had to take it down and remove the offending files - okay, I had overloaded both the server and FrontPage.. I'm switching web editor programs and am rebuilding my site. It will be VERY different from the old. Hopefully easier to manage and maintain without the every 2 year crash due.

Wow Tim - can't believe you were using Front Page - Hope you've moved to something good like Dreamweaver!

Yup... And it was FP2000. Donated to the old PlasticCowboy website by a modeler back in 2002. The program is still stable, but for large websites with thumbnails and links and such it gets easily overwhelmed. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't remove images/files from the server when removed from the webpage. So.. what that means is every photo ever added stays on the server in one folder - creating a HUGE mess. I could have gone through and individually deleted photos - if I knew exactly which ones were still on the site and which ones were old deleted versions. 4900+ images.. I'd be working on that for 10 years.

It was time to move on - so I did. Now my work in building the new begins.
