[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1014424, member: 90907"] This. In today's world I find myself amazed I come across people that don't realize you can just hover your mouse over a link and see where it's really sending you. The simplest of first steps. Of course there are means to circumvent this but those come into play only if the link appears legitimate. It's no different than working on a car that won't start. You do the simplest things first: check the plug wires for spark, make sure there's gas in the car and that it's actually getting to the cylinders, and so forth. Only after that do you throw your tools against the wall and pull the motor apart. [/QUOTE]
