Your problem is not with communicating with ISP servers. PERIOD If you believe that sort of drek, then it's easy to see why you can't keep your webmaster under control and demand proper performance. Whoever does your pages should be fired outright... they are trash, if the flawed "you must have cookies" page is any example. I couldn't believe the code when it was downloaded. IT WAS ONE SINGLE LINE, A PAGE IMPOSSIBLE TO READ, TO FIND ERRORS IN, OR CORRECT with the format it is stored in on *your* servers. I broke it down into more proper lines simply so I could refer to the message and find the e-mail address. First: I have cookies enabled. They work, as sent from my browser via my ISP to multiple servers around the world ... including Yahoo, AltaVista, MSN, and numerous other major sites which send and utilize cookies. Second: My ISP's servers have ab-so-lute-ly noth-ing to do with whether or not cookies get sent or received. My ISP's servers simply provide me with a high grade link to the internet. TO BLAME AN ISP'S SERVERS FOR PROBLEMS IS IDIOTIC!! They are only the first step in a multi-step series of links between the code on your server and the browser software on my PC. Third: You are never going to solve YOUR problems with the flawed code on your site [Your idiot webmaster probably doesn't even send test cookies in his code -- more likely he uses some sort of javascript in an attempt to ascertain what browser is being used to access your site, and if the code doesn't find a browser which is "hard wired" into the code, the User is sent to your all too inaccurate a much too flatulent "You must have cookies" page] unless and until the blame is placed where it belongs, the cretin who has been lying in his teeth to you is fired, and someone semi-competent is put to work setting the page code for your sight straight. Fourth: You can send this message to trash and ignore everything I'm telling you. It's no skin off my nose. I don't do commercially designed websites. I don't need your site or your services. My life will continue on without my ever even noticing that I cannot access your site, because I won't attempt to in future. HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP BANKRUPT *AND* THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE INTERNET COMMUNITY, YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WHAT I'M TELLING YOU AND *DO* *SOMETHING* ABOUT GETTING C-O-M-P-E-T-E-N-T WEBSITE DESIGNERS. Most sincerely, l.d. L.D. Best Ohio, USA P.S. Just another small hint about how your webmaster is lying to you: If you can get e-mail from an individual, and if that e-mail shows who sent the mail, you don't NEED to ask the individual what ISP they are using. ---- crap code follows ---- <html> <head> <title>Citywire.co.uk</title> <body> <center> <a href="http://www.citywire.co.uk";> <img src="http://www.citywire.co.uk/images/v2/logo.gif"; border="0"></a> </center> <br> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="90%" align="center"> <tr> <td> <font face="arial" color="#101073"> <b>Unfortunately, to use Citywire.co.uk you must have cookies enabled on your browser.
