Hello,
I dont know how this came about but i suddenly noticed that each page on my website is showing the same title, and it has changed more than once, today its showing my guestbook index.php as the title, on each page, even though obviousley that isnt the title.

I have no idea whats causing it, and even though it doesnt seem serious, im a bit concerned just in case its some sort of virus or whatever?
any ideas.

Edit: for website address: spisas

Mmmm... gotta love when you get to choose between reasonable display and security.

You can't choose security and choose IE... not possible:

I still don't understand why ie6 is the most popular browser. I have seen and heard at least about 20 storys like this one

Because people don't know they have an option. I say let's wage a pro-browser campaign. Not anti-ie, but pro your favourite browser, like Megan does with Opera!

Good idea -- I've got additional info on browsers up at sitebasics.net. It's true -- people don't realize they have a choice, unless someone tells them.

I think that your browser may have cached the page? try

I didn't see your post as a hate message, druagord. Wink No worries. Just continued the thought.

I think what happened with ie is that microsoft gave it away free with their operating systems and advertised it as the standard, so people tended or still do, to think its the web browser. or something like that.
