Those two very vague subjects of 'aggravating pane' and 'mobile Facebook' (sic) combined with the mostly lower-case, unpunctuated body text both looked so much like maillist spam to me that I nearly consigned the original poster to spam-filter oblivion without looking any closer. You need to write more properer than that, Jim; it's a bad idea to write so sloppily you generate false positives on people's spam filters. I'm not even talking about a computer-controlled filter here - this time you almost fooled the human. And if I'd actually bothered to set up a computer-moderated filter with the criteria I was mentally applying, you certainly would have been caught by it. This is a good example of stifling creativity or at least a personal style. One could criticise you for your subjective assessment of perfectly good subject lines, sentence length, use of words such as 'properer' and 'maillist', mis-use of a semi-colon, starting a sentence with 'And', the use of contractions in written English, and a split infinitive. Pot. Kettle. i am sure jim may ignore the shift key and punctuation for a good reason no meaning is lost Perhaps you should use an ISP who uses proper spam eradication techniques instead of a sledgehammer approach based on what you think prose should look like. While you ponder that, please also reply elsewhere as your post had nothing to do with the brilliant NetSurf.

Thanks, Kevin. I was looking for something like that but just couldn't see it. I'll give it a go. Hope that it doesn't explode!

Problem on test build page.
When I visit the test build page, I usually click on the links from the latest build numbers, to check which are applicable to the RISC OS versions (the rest of the details are incomprehensible to me). Since this morning, I get an error message, saying: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I don't know how to contact the server administrator, so I'm mentioning this here. Thanks in advance, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Lu \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
