I agree this is a problem of Opera - but since the OOo-Trackers don't do any user-based statistics or authentification stuff, they don't need the key, so I guess that not to require that parameter is not a big deal... I still wonder though why opera doesn't fall back on another tracker in that case - this seems to be the bigger bug IMHO... ciao Christian -- NP: nichts --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
