Yah, it's unfortunate. Microsoft isnt updating Explorer for Mac anymore and left it pretty buggy. I think this particular bug has to do with errors in the way it processes javascript. I know it's not fun to change browsers since you have to remake your bookmarks, but eventually Explorer for Mac will become outdated and incompatible with OS X. It's not really a question of IF you'll stop using Explorer for Mac, but WHEN. *shrugs* Of course it's up to you, but that's the story behind it.

Thank you professor!! I had no idea smileys would do that. Problem will be rectified soon!

so if only I had a mac...

(but it was the computer I started out with when I was oh so young so I have a soft spot in my heart for them)

I don't have a Mac either, and I get those kidnap/browser messages too. Is there maybe some browser setting that'll cause it not to work?

Thanks for fixing that memory bug, btw.

I can't talk to Duo using his flash-chat. Everytime I open the page, he grits his teeth at me and ends the chat. I don't know why, though! I don't think I've offended him or anything.

I don't have any problems when trying to talk to Heero or Julie, so it seems to be affecting only Duo.

Anyone else having trouble talking to him?

I was having that problem with a few bots earlier

DaMoyre...Do you have smileys in your opening xhello xinitiate, or whatever a bot says first? It strips the flash out or something, it's a few posts up, from the prof. I had that problem.

No, I don't. (I have smileys, but not by themselves. There's always a sentence to go along.)

Not sure what was going on earlier... but Duo seems to be responding now.

Thank you, Charles and Shady!

That's great! No prob. He doesn't grit his teeth anymore? My bot would've needed a dentist visit in a short time if he hadn't stopped gritting his teeth.

LOL! Oh, he *still* grits his teeth... but at least he actually allows me to have a conversation with him.

I must say, I don't understand why it's impossible to see flashbots and tak to them with IE6

I've got IE6 and I can see them just fine. Maybe check your javascript settings?
