    Dare I ask what happens in the woodshed? Do they get locked in a box, tortuting them with no electronics for weeks on end? Greba, My lack of content on my home page should be entertaining.

        At work I've been handed the task of being a tester for our website. The website searches through a database with different criteria. Was looking at in Monday and found a checkbox out in the middle of no where. You could check it but it apperared to have no effect on the results of the search. I reported this as a bug to the other developers. Monday comes along, and I'm told it's not a bug but a hidden feature, literally. This checkbox has value and does effect the search but is only needed by a few of our customers so the desicion was to offer it but to "hide" it.

        I guess we've tested it enough for you already: "This page is not available. We're sorry, but this page is currently unavailable for viewing. If this site belongs to you, please read this help page for more information and assistance." :laugh::laugh: CP Effect. "Your village called -

          Well not CP effect. For any geocities site you have to copy the URL and paste it in the address bar otherwise it doesnot work.

            Have you still not gotten the idea? It's GeoCities again! :)

              Ah, I usually avoid geocities sites, so haven't noted a pattern yet.:-O "Your village called -
              They're missing their idiot."

                Most geocities sites I equate with hotmail users - avoid at all costs. But I never noticed that the cut'n'paster doesn't work on them. "Your village called -
                They're missing their idiot."
