I've been on 222 for quite some time.

At least I got something to work.              *******              As for saving web pages, you're at the mercy of the web site on that.       The web site can interfere with a "Web Page - Complete" save attempt.              Web pages which use Ajax (push) for output, may not "save" as such.              In the era of AI scraping, expect web sites to be all the more prickly       about anything other than viewing as an option.               Paul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
