If this is a office group .. fp is included.. but since dian does not use fp it
is ot...
however I do.. so this is not... <grin>
I was using a form so people could enter their details to be listed if they had
a FrontPage site... with set layout... over the past year I've had to take it
down.. because some person has set some kind of robot on it... (it must be a
robot) ... and it enters other people's sites .. (they know nothing about it)..
at first When I was waiting for linkbacks (people are supposed to tell me the
page they linkback on - they did not have to before.. but it was getting out of
hand .. so I put that on)... I would email them and they would know nothing
about it... so I took them off... eventually I took down the form.. then I
changed the name.. but the robot found me again.. (i get an email when someone
posts.. I was getting over 200 at a time) ... so I've taken down the form ..
which allowed people to see their results straight away... now they have to
email me... sad isn't it?
by the by.. if anyone has a FrontPage discussion web.. be advised that you can
code it to send you an email... ditto the guestbook... I would advise you don't
have html turned on for that folder .. before viewing it though.. no telling
what will come through... so there you go... do I get points for turning this
cleverly into not ot?.. or points off for hitting it square in the middle?<grin>
anyway thought I would add to the venting and spam story... I've gotton over it
but I'm mad cos I can't get my head around css... so someone has to pay ...
chortle chortle... (it's a chortle moment, on the premise that if you don't
laugh.... you....
