    To find out if it is a coding issue "check the code".

    Regarding the code on the second fishin.com logo here it is and it is wrong.
    <img
    src="http://www.fishin.com/graphics/icons/bullet-square-r.gif"
    hspace="6" width="11" height="11"></font><a

    There is no link code.

    A link starts with <a href=

    It should be like the below as it is on the top fishin.com logo that works:

    <a href="../../index.html">
    <img
    src="http://www.fishin.com/graphics/logos/fishinlogo-horiz.gif"
    alt="Fishin.com" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="236"
    height="33"></a>

    It is not a server issue. There is only one server that serves the fishin.com pages...the fishin.com server so to speak. It does not matter who you connect to the internet through.
    Some servers like AOL disconnect from the internet for periods of time. Obscure links like the COE links do not work if they have not saved those pages.. basically AOL and other ISP's will save money by saving the 10 billion most popular pages and shut down for an hour or so some times. I have found this true especially with AOL by making changes to the site and then trying to reload the page.. the old page still shows up.. thus the post from one of the above guys saying the links to the river levels were still active when they in fact had been removed.. they went to a 404 because the links no longer went any where, while the old river level links went to an error page on the NWS site. I have even deleted the cache and reloaded and AOL still was sending me OLD outdated pages. I think Iglou, and other local servers do the same thing, but I can not be sure, but it is the only way links could NOT work on the same browsers, like 6.0 AOL and Mozilla.
    IF the pages we link to are not in the top tier of the net then that explains why the links do not work, as the SERVER Companies do not save those pages. Thus when they are not attached to the general INTERNET the links do not work. Complaining to the SERVER might help, but the links are set up correctly because many of the users are getting the links...
    Again the only explanation is that the pages in question are NOT ON THE SERVER.. like AOL, or IGLOU, or ACSALASKA or whatever and that is why they produce an error message otherwise the links work fine.
    In other words AOL and others download the net and serve it from their own locations to save money and to save bandwidth. Obscure links or links seldom used may not show up when they download and produce a 404 message or error message.

    I repeat I'm not a computer wizard, what I have noticed on this site is that when someone has a link in their post if it's not red then nothing happens when I try to click on it. No error message etc. just nothing happens.
