A few bored developers who understand HTTP and HTML forms way better than OP found it, and OP is inviting more people to do the same things rather than fixing his “game”.
One important edit to this: I did not mean to misgender or mispronoun, I meant to use more neutral terms and missed the possesive at the end. If I did, I apologize. -Dan _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/nanog () lists nanog org/message/B532GJYR3FPMC3CNWG4Z7JJR6G5YIFVE/
