Well... this is a perfect example of a  stereotypical aussie   .
It works fine when you identify mozilla as its self.

Well this looks like a typical canadian,

It was just intruging, I want blaming MacMan but was more interested, if anyone it would be his host, and it is now working in both... He might have changed it without letting be know to keep my insainity level nice and high!

Hah? Everything works great in Mozilla 1.1/OS X 10.2 identifying as itself, Chimera 0.5/OS X 10.2 also identifying as itself. No problems here EX Eleven!

no, you're right actually, it doesn't work sometimes, i wonder if he's playing around with different hosts and so on.

that's his current signature, it is at http://scifirealms.freeservers.com/irevpromo2.gif at the moment, but it seems he is trying to shift it to netfirms (which is a good idea, his whole site should be shifted there, for stability and a lot of free space, in my opinion).

when i posted that i could see it. now i cannot, and the image reports the same url as before. that is odd, isn't it?

also, it doesn't seem to make any difference what i set the browser to identify as.

I hadn't realized I'd started such a controversy. Anyway, this should all be fixed when i figure out the netfirms thing, provided Calum is right about its remote-linkability.

His sig works perfectly for me in IE 6.0 SP1. To be honest I wish that it didn't work because it is big and annoying(Heh, I think I may block it  :D ). It must be a Mozilla thing.

Haha, I knew that already. I just had to be a dick and point out that it works flawlessly in Microsofts' browser since it craps out in the so-called king of browsers(the buggy Open Source crap). Isn't it funny that the only way your Open Source stuff will work perfectly is if you set it to identify(emulate) MS's stuff?

Open Source emulates, it doesn't innovate.
Hey, that might be my new sig.  :D
