- Original Message - From: Wolfgang Uhlig [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ql-users] QL2004 website Yes indeed, Opera (7.23) shows up but the Lycos script interferes heavily. No popup-block can change this. Why do you have to accept that they change your HTML, anyway? Do they ask that for the free use of their server? Do you want space on my Tiscali account? I have got enough :-) There is no such thing as a free lunch and it is the penalty of using a free server. Originally the adverts were relatively unobtrusive, but then they decided on a permanent stripe on the side. The justification for this is that the adverts would be linked to google generated adverts that would be relevant to the site. Indeed that promise was kept. If I remember rightly another justification for permanent adverts was that there would be no need for pop-ups, but I see that this is now being broken. Thanks to the offer of space, also to Tony Firshman, but I have been thinking of moving elsewhere for some time. However, I want to do this with a restructuring of the site, dare I say it, to make it easier for PC users! I quite frequently get requests for word lists from students and academics and would like to make their searches to find me easier. Also the nature of Just Words is changing, with more emphasis on freeware than commercial products and thus more products for downloading. Thus a major change, which needs a lot of thinking and preparation. It is not going to happen this year, because of other commitments so for the moment I shall decline your kind offers. (The moral of this story is never to open your big mouth to complain about the QL2004 scene going quiet as I did at the beginning of the year.)

Re: [ql-users] QL2004 website
Well, I use Opera V7.11 and its fine. I can't tell the difference between it and the page on IE6. What's supposed not to work? I also use tripod to host my site and have never had any problems with it. But then its perhaps because I've got pop-ups partly blocked that it works for me.

By the way, you should add title tags to the site - there is nothing, so it displays the URL (and same when one saves). Also the first words of text should make some sense, as they are ones that will appear in summaries on search engines (Google etc). At the moment there is nothing intelligible. -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:252/67) +44(0)1442-828255 tony@surname.co.uk http://www.firshman.co.uk Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG ___ QL-Users Mailing List

I have just about enough space (35GB at the last count (8-)# ) I could give you a user account on my Linux system, and you could use pscp from Windows (and puTTY) to maintain the site. -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:252/67) +44(0)1442-828255 tony@surname.co.uk http://www.firshman.co.uk Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG ___ QL-Users Mailing List
