BearCub, If you're still there, can I give you an example?

Hover your mouse pointer over the links on the bottom of the page. The links at the bottom are directed toward FR instead of the issues2000.org domain.

The only difference I see is that the links that are linking to FR say "click here" instead of ANYTHING else.

Yeah, I see that. Here's what is happening - I'll try to explain the best I can.

There are two types of paths you can use in links. You do both of them with the [a href=....] syntax.

The first is an 'absolute path' that includes the name of the server to link to. For example [a href="http://www.myserver.com/pages/mypage.htm"]

The other type is a 'relative path' that omits the server name and just leaves it implied that the resource is to be found on the same server the page is hosted on. For example: [a href="../pages/mypage.htm"]

When you use a relative path in a posting here, your web browser assumes the resource is here on FR. To correct it, you have to paste in the correct server name.
