See what you mean but I knocked out all those section layouts in the first instance. I am using only pagelayout.tpl in template folder which already only calls 1x1.gif|ezimage and the error I get is it can't find it in the root directory.
Clearly there is some other reference to 1x1.gif somewhere in the templates that I haven't found yet, or the ezimage function is faulty.
In the meantime I have simply made my own 1x1.gif and put it in the root directory. I hope that will solve the problem but if anyone can shed any light on why ezPublish is looking for a 1x1.gif in the root folder then please advise.
