Took three days, and then it just started working. I expect to have to relog in every now and then, and I made sure of the password first thing - but for those three days it simply refused to acknowledge the login. Weird, eh? I'm on rev 1.7.6

Are you running Firefox of Mozilla? The current release on Firefox is 1.5.01. Mozilla is up at 1.7.

Or are you running a Beta version of Firefox?

You're not just cutting edge, you're BLEEDING edge, my friend!

Usually he is over the edge

By the way, you can change the style in your profile in case this color scheme doesn't work.

And I thought MY puns were horrid...

That wasn't horrid.

Look at the fellow leaning over the rail in the fourth panel. His name isn't Hyurk-ules, His name is Fishmeal.

Now, that's horrid!

It's Mozilla Firefox. Didn't know there was a difference, I'm not a computer geek.

Just testing the time listing on this. The posted times are a little odd here.

A sailing ship can tack into the wind only because it has a rudder and keel in the water.
No matter what configuration the flying ship's sails take, that ship will simply follow the wind.

It makes a fine crop-duster though. The contents of one Rac Conan's crop is hitting the dust.

Well the Mozilla Suite, made by Mozilla.org, is a Web-browser, e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor all in one. Current Release 1.7.12

Firefox which is made by Mozilla.org is just a Web Browser. Current release 1.5.01.

The third Great program from Mozilla.org is Thrunderbird that is an E-mail program that can be used with Firefox. Current Release 1.5

So now that I've given you a program you can tell who the players are.

Go into your Profile and set your time. The forum time is GMT and you need to set your local time as + or - how many hours you are from GMT.

Hmm, was I the only one who saw the first few panels (had to wait on a dial up) and thought that Ralph was cannonzing the RP? I though Rayne had built a traction kite out of local materials, and had another one get away from him.
