Hello group,

A friend of mine has created a webpage that searches Google but has a little
Xtra added.
he has not asked me to promote his site in any way but I just thought it is
such a good page I would share it here.
The address of the page is http://www.wired2blow.co.uk/search/googlex.php

This guy is a really nice bloke and I am sure you can all try and do your
bit to make his page work.

Spam? Sorry you feel like that... He isn't trying to sell you anything,
he's a very good friend of mine and I just thought I would try to raise
the profile of his new page thats all.

What Xtra (sic) ? All I see is normal Google AdSense websearch results.
Could you explain why we should use this page rather than google
itself?

This guy is a really nice bloke

If he's such a nice bloke and a friend of yours why are you going
behind his back and doing the one thing he's asked you not to do?

and I am sure you can all try and do your
bit to make his page work.

Which is what? What do we need to do to make his page work?

[Hywel Jenkins]

Yup.


Sorry you feel like that...

Don't be.

He isn't trying to sell you anything,

Hmmm. I bet.

he's a very good friend of mine and I just thought I would try to raise
the profile of his new page thats all.

It's still spam. What does your "friend's" site offer that google.co*
doesn't?

Well, I can understand your irritation, but this nice bloke is
not reported as having asked his friend to not promote his site,
he is reported as not having asked her to promote it, a very
different thing.

Just curious, but what are you attempting to show with that image? the
site looks fine on all of my browsers.

Just curious, but what are you attempting to show with that image?
the site looks fine on all of my browsers.

It is exactly as I see it, in multiple browsers. <shrug>
When trying to see the individual images and trying to figure out why
they do not display, I get results such as this, while using the image
file names:

banner
Forbidden
www.wired2blow.co.uk/images/FF-logo.gif

Dunno. There isn't anything really unusual about my browsing environment
other than I don't use Internet Exploder.

Oh wait, let's try that. Hark! In IE, I see images! But not in any other
browser [Firefox/Mozilla/Opera]. Don't know why.

The source is a total mess but it relies heavily on javascript. Is it
turned off in your browsers? I get the same "forbidden" 403 error if I
right-click an image and choose "View image". I suspect he may be
blocking saving images using javascript. Silly, really, since Mozilla
browsers will save the files via the Page Info tool.

Yes and No; doesn't work either way.

I don't think I care anymore.

LOL. Ok, I guess I don't either! ;-)
