This all sounds so confusing! But I think I've actally been to a site
like that once! It was "based" out of China....and no matter WHAT link
you clicked on, you'd go to a separate page that had NO way to hit the
"Back" button on your browser!.....How is that even POSSIBLE!?
Back in the Bad Old Days, I had a page on my site that claimed to be a
dead end on the Internet. There were no links on it, hitting the Back
button just reloaded it and your history was blank.
How did I do it? Easy: the link to it went through eleven redirects
with blank names, because in those days your history only showed your
last ten pages. The Back button just reloaded a redirect, and
clicking on any of the blank lines in your history just lead back to
the dead end. Then, mirable dictu, Intersnot Exploder Did The Right
Thing so that using the Back button skipped over any redirects, and
about a year later, Nutscrape copied them and the page stopped
working. Still, it was amusing while it lasted.
No, that probably doesn't answer your question, but I thought you
might find it interesting. Besides, it's my birthday today so you
have to humor me on things like this even if you don't want to. How
old am I? Well, if you write out my new age in hex, I appear to be the
same age as Jack Benny.
Well then first things first Happy Birthday To You Sir!....I apologize
for responding so late to this, but I've been on a whirlwind of a month
so far,...car repairs....car rental....the birthday of my
Now-Twelve-Year-Old-Son-Who's-Not-A-Kid-Anymore-So-I-Should-Treat-Him-More-Like-A-Teen!
As for the web page redirecting thing, out of my own curious mind I'm
thinking if that ability has been done away with permanently.....how
many times do I go to a web-site and then something else
appears?....wouldn't think this kind of thing would still be
around.....Enjoy your Birthday.......Jack Benny huh?.....I actually
remember watching that show as a kid....and I was born in the 70's!...LoL!
