Works fine for me! Perhaps, the long URI's were stuck in his cache, or the zone files/cache at his ISP, or whatever.

Tapping isn't a cure-all, in itself, unless you use redirects, and so forth. For instance, I got lazy when I tapped my Popularity Checker. You can get to it by either...

http://www.lenon.com/modules.php?name=Popularity

or...

http://www.lenon.com/popularity.html

I could fix this in a few seconds, but who cares, you know? Smile

If this really bothers you, I suppose you could fix it with some '.htaccess' directives...

That was the first time I have ever checked my new forum on his PC so that would rule the cache issue out. but I see your point Smile

Thanks for your help

No problem...

I might mention, a good way to check you site is to use a proxy. That'll save a trip to your bud's house. There are zillions of proxy servers out there.

Here are a few that I use:

You should be made aware though, that using a proxy instead of your buds house does not include free beer and pizza LOL
