Dear PHP Net You're doing a fantastic job ... but I don't want to be told what language to read the site in. I suggest offering the other-language mirrors as links for those who wish to set them as a preference and encouraging visitors to use mirrors for local downloads. When I type a function into your address, e.g. http://www.php.net/ereg, I want that page to appear in English and not be automatically changed to German. I've tried using the my.php.net settings, but it appears to be a bit wobbly because I keep landing up back at German content. Check out Google for a good example. They set a cookie for whatever site you want to set as your main choice as soon as you click on it so you can reset it quickly on any new computer or after a cookie clean-out. The vast majority of users will be happy with the automatic detection choice (the German site in my case), but I can quickly set my preference to the American site by clicking only once on the link. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work Norman -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.graffiti.net Powered by Outblaze
