Missing files?
Hi, I've just spotted this in my error.log file: [Fri Dec 16 09:49:35 2016] [error] [client w.x.y.z] File does not exist: /frontview/dashboard/images/scroller/style1-tb.png, referer: https://...

I think you are correct when you say it's a bug in one of the web pages. I found another .png file on the NAS with a similar name, copied it into /frontview/dashboard/images/scroller/ directory, amended the ownerships and permissions and now I don't get the error messages. I also can't see any change in the admin index webpage, which is where they're loaded when it's displayed on login. If someone can supply me with the correct files, or tell me where to get them, and what difference it'll make, then I'll install them. Otherwise I think I'm done here.
Thank you again for all your prompt help, very much appreciated.

That does look odd. You could try an OS reinstall from the front panel (not a factory reset)
That will reset the admin password to "password" and the network interface to use DHCP. Other settings shouldn't be affected.

Yes, I thought of the OS re-install but I was looking for something a little quicker, and more elegant? Just copying across a couple of small .png files instead of a whole re-install seems a better solution to me?

An OS reinstall should take no more than 10 minutes max

Since I'm not a v2 owner, I don't have them to share.
The reinstall is quick, though it requires the paper-clip reset stuff. You could also simply manually over-install the firmware from the web-ui - that wouldn't change any settings.

Oh well I was going to upgrade to 5v3.12 anyway. Here goes.
