now it is red??

Brad is right, and I would go with the "messing with us" hypothesis.

Any changes preparatory to bringing the site up and active again would not do this. If I were doing it, I would not edit it live, but rather construct the new pages off-line, get them whereI wanted, and then upload them. That's the professional way to do it. Similarly, moving the site to a new host would not do this.

There's a specific HTML code that designates background color for a page. To produce the color change, you change that code from the numeric for black to the one for red. The link text for the email address could also be changed very simply. To reverse it, just go back in and change it back.

These changes have been deliberate. They have not been a byproduct of bringing the site back up, although of course I'm sure that's being worked on.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

That, too.

Didn't all this start shortly after that spoof thread on visting the website?

Hehehe, the fans think some shit is going on, and are creating a self perpetuating error on the website.

no i think not.
1) i wonder when so many people has visiting the site that the site will give a "error" or something

2) when this be because that action of us, then it would happened many hours earlier.

is she?

[Deepwaters]

Probably depends on how you define "whiz." Her father's a computer scientist, that was an alternative career choice if music didn't work out, and she's certainly computer-savvy. Professional level, most likely not, but that's hardly necessary for what we've seen so far. I could do it, which means probably she could, too.

Maybe if someone checks the source next time it changes. That could tidy up a few speculations.

Any of you who stumble across a changed version of the page, do me a favor and grab the source code, would ya? That'll tell us a bit about what's getting changed.

It's very easy to do - just right click the page, and hit "view source" on the context menu. That'll bring up the code in a .txt file, which you can copy and paste here, or email to me, post for DL, or whatever.

I know what the "normal" blank page source looks like, and have a copy of its source. I want to compare :-)

Not hard. Simply make the change I have made below:

body {
	background-color: #FF0000;
	margin-left: 0px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}
