Re: pop-up windows

So what we have accomplished after 20 posts is to inform this one user how to go about researching and posting proper questions. What of the hundreds of newbie posts that will come after his? Are we gonna complain about them too? I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need a pervasive reminder.. an automated email sent to the list once a day labled, "[PHP] *BEFORE YOU POST* Links to FAQs and Resources". Now this is something that any one of us could set up in less than an hour. So who's it gonna be? Preferably sombody who knows or is in contact with the list administrator so that we don't have two dozens of these being posted every day. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hewitt" <g0pae@manordat.demon.co.uk> To: "Luis Miguel N.
