| Re: Use of <noscript> to replace image containing text | IMJ | 09/03/24 3:16 | I apologise if I came across as as being offensive.

| Re: Use of <noscript> to replace image containing text | Autocrat | 09/03/24 5:14 | "... I apologise if I came across as as being offensive. ..." Thats okay - it wasn't offensive - it's just very frustrating when people ask something, we all bend over backwards to point out the related issues.... and it seems wasted. I shouldn't |
