Very sad. I was looking forward to this.

Many thanks ambush, I've missed out a ton of times in the past. Now if I could only find a name that's not taken!

Since sometime last night (or possibly this morning) UK time, I've been getting the server error every time I try to load the page. Refreshing doesn't help, nor does anything else. I thought the site was down to start with, but I've been in work all afternoon, and had no problem accessing the site there at all. Any advice?

Has anyone gotten this message?
I tried to use my Gmail account from a computer running 9.1 and from IE I get this message:
I can't even find the option to enable ActiveX

To use Gmail, enable ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer. You can do this by going to the Tools menu, selecting Internet Options, Security tab, Internet zone, and either select the Default Level, or selecting Custom Level and scrolling down to "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" and selecting Enable.

thanx in advance!

superTOR · Jun 23, 2004, 07:30 AM

I cannot believe this generousity!

If anybody feels like blessing me with an account, although I am just a big lurker in these forums, I'd really appreaciate it. In a weak moment I promised my GF that I would try to get her one as her last one is just not reliable, and haven't had any luck. Seeing as she has put up with my grumpy mood althrough the last 3 weeks of exams, she does deserve some attention.

(Don't worry, she's gonna get more attention that a potential g-mail account when I'm eventually finished all the exams

)

I'll even post a pic of her if it works out, she's quite an attractive tiny little norwegian girl.

Her e-mail is liz � bommelibom.com, and if it bounces, then my e-mail is erik � bluesky.org.

Cheers!

Well, I didn't exactly join up to post in this thread, if that's what you're implying.

Very true - for example, I may not post much but i have been around here for quite a while, as you can see from my Registered Date.

Any chance of one of those invites? pretty please?

Many thanks if you do... I quite understand if you don't though.

Cheers,

I signed up on the 17th and just got my first invites today. It can take quite a while. I'm not sure how they determine who gets invites...

jersey · Jun 23, 2004, 10:59 AM

how does one acquire invites to send to people? is it a random thing, or based on account usage ...... or something else?

I didn't start getting invites until I started using my account with relatively normal usage. Who knows?
