Wrong info on billboard

Last month I noticed a billboard at the antique cars by Maverick that is advertising Halloweekends. Only problem is that the dates listed for Halloweekends are LAST YEAR'S operating days. I just returned from Coaster Mania and the mistake is still there. Has anybody else noticed this?

Also, I don't understand why this letter is not filling my reply box correctly. I have a feeling that this post is going to be an inconvenience to read because the bar at the bottom will have to be constantly moved to read it. Is it because I am still using Windows '98? Don't laugh; it's true!

I had the same problem even though I'm on XP Pro SP2 with IE7. Jeff had me check the box that says, "Always use plain text box?" I hope there is a fix at some point, because it takes longer to create links, and I often have to edit my messages to create paragraphs.

I noticed the wrong Halloweekends dates too. I'm sure they'll change it eventually, it just wasn't on their immediate list of things to do.

Because I shouldn't have to and I just plain don't feel like it. The browser might not even be the problem. Arn't others using IE7 or earlier without a problem?

^IE is evil, plain and simple. It permanently keeps track of all every website you have ever visited and it is a pain to take out (no its not clear all temp files on the menu, that does very little.) Plus practically every virus is made to attack IE users, and on top of that Firefox has the security add ons.

IE is just a piece of crap. And also Outlook/ Outlook Express. Roughly 60% of all calls at the ISP I work at are for problems related to Outlook / Outlook Express.

the mistake on the billboards i always notice is the one for the frontier inn, featuring meatball subs. always makes me kind of sad when i look at it.

Nothing, I just personally do not like the idea that someone can look back and discover everywhere I have ever been on the web on this computer. Privacy thing, nothing to hide, just dont want it paraded out there, especially to advertisers, blah.

Plus its taking up space and slowing my system down for no reason.

How did you fix my post, RideMan?  I never had this problem with the "old" PointBuzz format.

The crap I dug up on my old boss' computer is a case study on why not to use IE.

^^You mean a case study on how to get caught doing something or going somewhere you shouldn't be. I still stand by the fact that if you arent wanting to hide anything, there is no big deal on storing that info.

So the only people who value their privacy are the ones who are doing something wrong?

Sieg heil!
