Also, why has he specified M3s and M6s separately from CBers, previous
comments suggest he regards them as equivalent.

You know what, that opens as a completely blank page in Firefox 3 on
Linux. I guess my OS/browser is clever enough to protect me from
Geocities usual spyware/adware crap???

OK, maybe I should have put "for all the CBers, i.e. M3s, M6s, G1s, G6s,
G7s, G8s, M1s etc around here" :)

That's weird. It works perfectly on my Firefox 3.0.3 on Suse 11.0_x64!!

I just tested it on Firefox 3.0.3, Opera 9.52 and "Konqueror 3.5.9
(Using KDE 3.5.9 "release 49.1" openSUSE 11.0)" and it works fine on all
three. All are running on openSUSE 11.0_x64. Are you blocking cookies
as the site uses one?

I'm not blocking cookie, and nor does FF give me any warnings about the
site.Maybe our ISP is the common issue? I'm using Blueyonder (therefore
Virgin Media). Maybe they are blocking it or having an issue with it of
some sort. DNS resolves it ok and I can ping it, just no content or
source. I don't use a proxy - but BY could transparent proxy me for all
I'd know...

Which industry standard does that use then? The industry standard is
HTML 4.01 and IE sure doesn't comply with that!

Industry standard??? Microsoft wouldn't recognise a standard if they
fell over it!! Sites that only work in IE are written by lazy coders and
usually aren't worth visiting anyway...

The mystery deepens... I am using Virginmedia ( I'm ex blueyonder too)
and Firefox 2.0.0.14 Linux. The page opens straight away, no problems at
all.

As much as I'd like to blame Virginmedia in this case, it doesn't seem to
be their fault for once!

I blame the RSGB and Brian :-)

It's the industry standard that in the real world Web designers test their
product on, if it works on MS IE7? The rest doesn't matter.

It's the same in the real world with any leading product
