Andrew, I believe Luke is talking about "links" and not "lynx" in his message. Note the spelling. I have also recently been totally frustrated when trying to use lynx (as in the cat) to sign up for my new email service, where the forms appeared to be filled out correctly, but turned out to be blank upon submission. When I filled out the same forms with links (as in the chain) however, it worked fine. The webmaster at the site says lynx the cat is buggy and people have better luck with links the chain, but I believe the difference is in the absence of javascript support in the former and the modest level of support in the latter.
