Not to be ungrateful, folks, but please check your urls before you post them. Most of the time, including all four that I tried tonight, are either incorrect or do not exist. Thanks, everybody, for the effort to help each other out.

Sometimes a site is temporarily unavailable due to network traffic. I always try several times before I give up.

Chet, it would help if you LIST the URL that doesn't appear to work....thay way the original poster could delete it or modify it (if it is in the MUDCAT LINKS block).
Plus, links change and also disappear....
Jen's Underground Lyrics site IS NO MORE!

Gene - any information on what happened to Jen's? I've tried there several times over the last couple of weeks, and it does indeed seem to be gone, but do you know what happened?

Hi, Everybody-
Praise noted in the Help Forum that one of the links to "Spud Mountain RFD" is incorrect. Members are supposed to test and edit and police the links they've posted. Somebody got carried away in posting links to Spud Mountain RFD - there are FIVE links to the program. I suppose somebody thinks it should be listed under every possible applicable category, but that clutters up the links page with five listings, one of which is inaccurate.
I think it would be better to post just one link to any given nite, and pick the one category that best fits, and not hog space with five listings. You'll note that it takes a LOOOOOONG time to load the LINKS page. It wouldn't take so long to load if it weren't so cluttered with duplicate and inoperable links.
If you've posted links on the links page, please take a few minutes every few months to check the links you've posted to make sure they're still working and that they're not duplicates.
Also, please try to make your description of the Website relatively brief, like two or three lines at most.
Thanks.

Could the nickname of the posting person be listed with the link?
