we'd have to get permission from the owners of those universe's.

Owners of those universes... Man I'd like to own a universe.

Be a ***** to redecorate though, and as for the heating bills.

In theory, puke's complaint should now be fixed. Now for the difficult bit...

Just Downloaded Opera 7. Damn, when did Opera go from being a neat, tidy little browser with a few cool features to a cluttered, confusing unusable monstrosity?

BTW, my page doesn't seem to work in Opera either. This is ridiculous. What's the point in having standards if the different browsers won't honour them?

I'm sure Microsoft's to blame somehow.

Dogscoff, I just took a quick look around with Opera and had no problems whatsoever with your site.

[edit] Oops, I take that back. The fiction page isn't showing any titles.

What software are you using to create the pages? I've heard that some programs put a lot of unnecessary junk in the code.

IE doesn't impliment the standards ussually. Since its also the most popular browswer, most sites code for it instead of the standard.

Well, today I discovered that the links in the 'quote-o-matic' actually work in Mozilla. They didn't before. So one more thing has been fixed. But the buttons that are supposed to give main entry into the story still don't work, nor does the list of chapters appear when you get into a chapter using a link from the 'quote-o-matic'.

The content seems pretty good. It's been so long since I read the previous few chapters that it's hard to compare them to the revised stuff. I don't remember the old Version clearly anymore. But there is a sense of a new direction in this material and that's good since the story seemed to be petering out before. Changing the tone of the story at this point is actually a good move. Othaglot is moving into a completely different world now.

If the most popular browser and most websites don't use the "standard", it doesn't really fit the definition of a standard does it?
