We have a solution! If you care to call it that My client panicked at the mere idea of having to do anything herself & asked me to remove the guestbook. Problem solved. Perhaps the next time a client asks for a guestbook I'll do the Lazarus install right from the outset!

I'll have a look at it - thanks Don! I suspect my client won't want to be involved in moderating messages & frankly I don't have the time available to run that part of her site...... hence wanting to amend the visitors' options a little rather than install a different script

One of my clients' guestbooks has started to be spammed & a couple of changes to the message entry options would help her a lot. I wonder if any of you script gurus out there can give me some pointers please? I don't want to install anything fancy since she's not up to speed with managing scripts (it's not my strongest suit either - I hit the upgrade button late last night & had to ask the Help Desk to put the resulting mess right a few seconds later. Yikes!!). All I'm looking to do at this point is to stop anyone adding comments to existing messages plus stopping anyone including their own url in the data they provide. I'm not confident about finding the relevant bits of code within the g/b admin to fiddle with this myself - can anyone tell me what I should be altering/removing to achieve what I want to do? Many thanks in advance!

Ah - I was being dense - too much Christmas cheer!! Thank you Thomas, the link works perfectly & the description you've added is exactly what I hoped for

Thanks Thomas! Although I'm not sure what you mean by verifying that it looks/works as expected?

I've always automatically sent a thank you reply - only afterwards did I wonder if I was supposed to The help desk has always been right on the ball

Well what can I say other than I bought 2 new domain names last night & in less than an hour they'd been parked on my existing domain & it's all systems go - I'm breathless!!

Yes he is! Books that hold you spellbound - often literally ) I've read The Lovely Bones too, Marie B. Fascinating concept & a good read

It seems The Da Vinci Code is a top read just now I got it for Christmas & enjoyed it so much I've just read Digital Fortress by the same author. Also High Fidelity by Nick Hornby (since I love the film) & currently reading The Elder Gods by David & Leigh Eddings.

WooHoo!! Welcome to 'the Old Country'

Congratulations guys!!!

I have a large number of fonts in a folder on my HD, although I recently weeded them out & reduced them to about 1500. Ruthless Only the original fonts that came with Windows are actually installed - I browse myfolder/subfolders for what I want to use & open it then minimise it. That way it appears in my list for the duration & I'm not slowing down the loading of any program You can use a font program (there are several that I'm sure people here will have advice on for you) but this way works fine for me.

Opera is one of the 5 I use for testing templates, but I haven't seen anything to make me use it as my default. It's good but not better than.........
