Check your referer string. If you have any program that removes the browser referer string, it won't work. :(

Click on the treasure chest to check the referer string. :idea:

Hello. Tried both IE with Google toolbar and Netscape without. Netscape gives me a more helpful error msg:

Not Found
The requested URL /~johnb/test/finds.html was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.26 Server at www.zipworld.com.au Port 80

Unless our firewall is stripping it for some reason. Might try later from home.

Can't see a treasure chest either.

try shift-refresh, you have a proxy or cache somewhere serving old pages..

the page resides at riblit.net now..

Hmmm, it worked from home fine. I had tried the Shift-Refresh at work without luck. We have a firewall there between us and Internode but it doesn't do any caching. So unless they are which would be a bit strange.

Oh well, will just have to do it from home in the future. Might start to slow up a bit soon, starting to run out of local things to go for :D

Will do so just to see what happens. But I hadn't logged into that page for a while (well it has taken a few weeks at least to go from 200 to 250) so I would be surprised if it was cached. Unless it was happening upstream and another internode/agile customer was using the page. But would be unusual if it was hit that often they would cache it. Be interesting to see what happens.

Cheers and thanks
