You really need to give Jeff a big bonus, Max. Go on and dip into those five-year reserves you got tucked away and be generous!! ***BG** (Note: This is a fictional reference for the purposes of humor. If you do not need humor or are not equipped to recognize it, please disregard this post!)

yeah, Max...McMudcat has morphed into "La Petite Marmet Mudcat"! or "La Maisonette Mudcat!" (high praise from one of its resident cynics) *wink* hg

art, have you tried clearing your browser cache?

that is wierd!...are you sure it is not a cached version? I can't find any way to access Mudcat that is NOT the new version.

As Max said, your ISP may be keeping old settings and not refreshing/updating DNS records...you might give THEM a call and ask what the #$&&*((%%$+ IS GOING ON..*grin*

Thank you, Max and elves, every day. The original Mudcat was an improvement on everyday reality, and this looks to be an even greater improvement. God knows how you do this with all the difficulties you face.

What a day.

I wrap the QA phase of a massive project - that kept me from three "of COURSE I'll be there, wouldn't miss it for the WORLD!" festivals - get back to my desk (first time since first week of August) after being in the software testing lab and WOW. Did a quick sanity blow through of the features - well done, all!

Cheers -

I can look at it if I go to loki.mudcat (and it looks wonderful), but every link from there goes back to www.mudcat, and gets a URL NOT FOUND message.

There's a maximum length to the amount of text that gets translated at one go, so in a long thread it doesn't do the whole thread. I don't know if it's possible to adjust this - maybe the maxiumum for thread splitting could be adjusted so it matched this maximum?

The translation is weird. Using IE, it changes back to English after a while. Using Netscape 4.7, all I get is rectangles.

Right now the only server that opens is shorty, together with 207.103.108.101/, and they opens the old version. Teething troubles, which Max indicated we could expect.

But it's a bit harsh on the eyes.... if you have a slightly jaundiced view on the world due to the absorption of alcohol.....

I'm going back to bed to see what it looks like later....

It's rather lovely though....
