Just been there - it's an exact copy! Unbelievable what some people will do. There's a talentless minority out there who will stop at nothing to steal the work of others.

Rip cases are growing too fast, I allready authorized over 400 ports from our work and counted around 140 rips from our work, wich gives an averadge of 3x1 aproximatly.

Boy! this is sad...

It's the bad economy, looming war, people thinking were too preoccupied. It's scary to think what will happen if someone sets off a nuke somewhere.

Alexandrie & Treetog, I know this is a little off topic but since your attention is here at the moment, I would like to ask you why you lock out access to your site when using the Opera browser?

If I remove the Opera id string from Opera and change it to IE I can browse your site with no problem! In other words your site works perfectly fine when browsing it with Opera! So why deny access for one of the best browsers on the market?

TIA, Roy Munson

Roy...at the moment....one very good reason.
Currently Opera is hosting stolen graphics on their site....for 'skinning' the task bar of Opera as it were....and guess where some of those images come from?

Fair cop, Guv'nor....

Jafo, long before someone started posting skins that were a rip of their work this was a problem! So I doubt that this is the reason for them to deny access for people using Opera.

Roy Munson: As far as I know, not so long ago, Johanne updated our site for it to be browsed by Opera too, but now we are on the process of moving it to another server and we are just witing for them to give us the green light.
I didn't ask Johanne, but I almost sure it will be able to be browsed using IE, Mozilla and Opera.

Treetog, thanks for the reply, now I won't have to switch over to IE to access your site! I really just don't like IE or MS for that matter.

I recently updated the site to accept Opera 7, if you have any problems please contact us.
