# How not to have to logon each post:
1. Run notepad or your favourite text editor.

2. Open the file Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts (windows nt/2000/XP/2003) or Windows\hosts (windows 9x/me) or etc/hosts (linux, probably mac os x)

note: this file doesn't have any extension and you may need to create it. Make sure your editor doesn't call it hosts.txt.

3. Add the line below to the end of the file:

207.44.242.20 www.b3ta.com

4. Save it and then goto www.b3ta.com in your browser. If you are using notepad you can stop it saving the file as hosts.txt by puting quotes around the name - i.e. type 'hosts' with the quotes into the save as dialog.

# I was an IE diehard
Until about a month ago. Firefox is actually far superior.

# Strange
because I often see a lot of FF users saying "OOhhh it doesn't work on FF" or "I wish there were more FF safe sites".

The only benefit I see is that Tab thing. And that's only usefull if you need to close porn quickly.

Which I don't.

# Surely
everybody should just use whatever browser they prefer.

I prefer Opera, but it's purely a matter of personal taste.

# IE
refuses to remember passwords if you use an IP address rather than a domain name in the address bar. Its a security precaution in case someone takes a site off a server where multiple websites are hosted and you suddenly start giving your passwords to another site.
