Internet Explorer Buglist
After spending half a morning trying to figure out why Internet Explorer (and only Internet Explorer) would not create a cookie I was setting, I thought it was time to familiarise myself with the known issues of IE7. So here's my reference - EnhanceIE - Internet Explorer Bugs.
The problem was that I was running the site from my own desktop where I created a virtual host that contained an underscore. Obviously you would never give an Internet domain name an underscore--you couldn't if your tried--but I never gave it a thought when defining a dummy host name for testing.
IE7 won't allow a cookie from a domain that contains an underscore because underscores are prohibited by DNS rules. So it's "by design". I think this is a bollocks choice though. If you're going to allow underscores in your server names, and allow you to use those name in a browser address, then create the cookies like Opera and Firefox do and stop confusing developers.

I'm glad it's not just the copy I'm playing that has this terrible slow-down issue. When things get really heated (battle-wise) it's almost as though the Wii just can't cope with the workload. free games

Rules: Paragraphs and linebreaks are automatically created (two or more linebreaks create a paragraph). Linebreaks between code tags remain linebreaks. Block tags cannot be enclosed by inline tags. Red attributes are required and green is optional.
Use "<" and ">" for "<" and ">". Enclosing PHP code in <code> tags will highlight the code (i.e. <code><?php echo 'hello world'; ?></code>).
List of valid tags:
<blockquote title="" cite=""></blockquote><cite cite="" title=""></cite><a href="" title=""></a><strong title=""></strong><em title=""></em><code title=""></code><abbr title=""></abbr><acronym title=""></acronym><ol title=""></ol><ul title=""></ul><li title=""></li>

As the reviewer says, your character begins to swing and turn, and pitch and freeze - making it impossible to aim or control where you're going. Infuritaing!
