Some people cannot (or will not) follow a blind link. Work, especially if you work behind a gvt firewall, may not allow the link and can even lead to disciplinary action. Imagine following a blind link that leads to a porn site!

Either post the link and the text, or don't bother posting at all.

I'm not sure what a blind link is, but I do find several links on this site that lock up my computer also.. the above link is for an AMBER ALLERT stating that children have been abducted in Missouri and the Mother may be traveling to the states of Colorado or Oregon with these kids..

Do with it what you may .

I was hoping she was on her way back where she came from, just under better circumstances of course..anyway I hope for the best for these kids involved, God blessour officers in uniform that have to straighten out this kind of domestic crap.

Windoze XP here, and normally I don't have tech difficulties, but like I said, there are a few links I try to open from postings on this site that just literally stop me in my tracks and I have to shut down and restart..:banghead:
