Hi everyone, I was wondering, is there an easy way to redirect traffic away from a site's shop, without having to directly change all the links that go to that shop? Unfortunately the shopping cart doesn't have a store closed function. Beyond the shop, it is a simple ASP site with includes, the

Hi Gang, Just testing to see if I get one of these verification messages. If I do, I'll check to see if this is something new that's been set up. No one has notified me that we have a new system and I don't see a need for it since I approve all new member posts to make sure we don't get
