Thanks. The problem was that I didn't see the edit or delete button! I had to search the page source for the link. I disabled HTML in the post. I guess you shouldn't mention <iframe> when HTML is enabled.

No. iframe is a bad word. As in, "Excuse me, would you like to see my iframe?"

Wow, I got six of them going for a screenshot and then the whole browser started flickering uncontrollably until I closed the tab. The PrtScrn didin't capture the flicker.

Ok, that may have been me. Is it just screwing people over automagically or do you have to fold in a bunch of them to increase view count instantaneously? Anyone, m'kay?

the first page was in an infinate loop so every time a new iframe loads it generates a page view.
just press stop. Is it just Firebird users who it crashes/doesnt work for? it works ok here but after a while strange black lines appear when setting up a mirror effect.
