See 1) URLs are case-sensitive, and irrespective of shortcuts that Netscape happens to implement, URLs should include a protocol (eg. http://) for the benefit of browsers that actually follow the rules. In other words, you meant "http://www.fcn.net/tfndoom", not "www.fcn.net/TFNdoom" as you've given above. 2) For (at least) the second time, you've failed to update the ALT= tag, so that text-only browsers still see: TORONTO FREENET DOOMSDAY CLOCK 11:59:59 12:00:00 IS THE END FOR TFN ...instead of the crudely-rendered "11:59:00" that appears in the .GIF. Bob, perhaps you should consider contracting out the maintenance of this page to someone who can tell time? Cheers, -- People shouldn't think that it's better to have Dan Astoorian loved and lost than never loved at all. It's http://www.utopia.csas.com not, it's better to have loved and won. All djast@utopia.csas.com the other options really suck. --Dan Redican
