Mongoose here; I succesfully updated my T-shirt design page to reflect
work I've finished. The normal voting page link takes you right to the
updated page. Why that never works for my other pages, I have no
idea...

The RN T-shirt voting page URL (credits to Drekhead, nice job) is:

http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Alley/6990/rntshirt.html

BTW, does anybody else find those Geo-Cities pop-ups as insanely
annoying as I do, since you have to wait for them before you can click
through? Is there any way to prevent them, from the user end?
Geo-Cities also sends more coookies than a lonely army wife. Its enough
to keep me from visiting some otherwise nice sites. :(

Turn off Java or Javascript. That is what is generating the pop up boxes.
Netscape 4.0, has some ignore cookie options, if your on a windows box
there are some nifty programs to do the same as well.
Hmm..I have no idea how to make this on topic, so....

click on the "x" usually clears them even before they finish loading

.... and yes they are so annoying that I'm moving the Infinity Pointe Bar &
Grille over to FortuneCity.com Baendethal's setting up a page there. I'll
post the URL later.
