Sorry, brain fart, yep says my browser unique. I use a standard install of IE8, and it says only 1 in 27000 odd use HTTP_ACCEPT Headers text/html, */* gzip, deflate en-GB OMG! Doesn't look right to me. I'm not sure I can be bothered to check, or how I could have changed that. Anyway, I'm sure hummy has [binned this unread] and it will help him to discover my super secret IP address. Good luck hum!!! -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat
