Where is everyone at with it? I'm too foggy to work on it right
now, But I hope by tomorrow night I'll feel up to snuff.
I *still* don't get what Troy was trying to tell me about the URL....

Say, it also looks like I'm missing a buttload of posts, so if I didn't
answer anyone, I'm sorry- I didn't see it.

I'm on 31.

As for the URL thing I was telling you about, it's just a way to bring
up the password box without having to find the hot spot on the image.
Look for the href= tag in the source code. So, for example, if you're on:

http://www.frvade.com/somecolor/someword.htm, look at the source. If you
see href="../somecolor/someotherword.htm", then change the URL to
http://www.frvade.com/somecolor/../...meotherword/htm

Basically, take everything in the href, including the ".." and pop it at
the end of the current URL, as if it were the answer.

Now, all this will do is bring up the password dialog as if you had
clicked on the magic hot stop. It doesn't give you the answer, but it
certainly makes it less frustrating than moving your mouse around trying
to find the button.

irked trying to find the damn link location I almost blew a gasket.
The other link was easy to find. Sheesh.

Thanks Troy! It's so good to see you again.

Oh god, I'm an idiot. See what a fever does to me?!?!?
Never mind- I was trying to find a link on a page that had no link.
The correct method for that page was to change the URL, and I
found the link easily on the page that needed the User/Pass, and
so anyway, I'm now happily on #15.

And looking at it, I might wait until tomorrow........

Ooh, a Monopoly board............sort of.

The next one, #16, was a bit of a toughie until I remembered
to try the ole "use a graphics editor" hint. Stupid yet funny answer.

Now, this #17 is making me *crazy*. I got the numbers and
did the "alt" thing, saw one odd foreign word, so both clues gave
me a direction to go in, but nothing is working.

I need a clue, please.

I think that was one of my favorites. I loved the way the answer jumps
out at you when you do it correctly.

I'm not really playing it...

If anybody's still playing this and needs help, let me know. I'm at the
temporary end again (just finished level 36).

I'm still kicking myself for taking so long with 34. Part of that puzzle
was based of an email I sent to Fravade with some level ideas, and
that's the part I had the most trouble with.
