Since I think yesterday my homepage has been changing to the google personalized homepage from my usual homepage, short-media.com for no appearant reason. I can chance it back but somehow google resets it and its really starting to piss me off. Anyone else experience this before?

IE6, shouldnt matter.

I might have fixed it when I was at my google homepage and told it to use the classic page or w/e the link was at the time. It was resetting everytime I opened gmail. Now it doesnt.

You're welcome.

Do you have the google toolbar installed? Homepages don't just change on their own like that.

Took me a while to figure that one out as well.
The smiley that is normally used to go along or represents that expression is this one: :Pwned:

I'll leave the direct interpretation up to the "younger crowd" but I'm sure you get the idea...

Ok, I've got it! :D ('Cause the rest of ya'll sure ain't gonna fess' up!) PWNED (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwned) is not an acronym for bad words at all. I consulted the URBAN DICTIONARY (http://www.urbandictionary.com) online thankyou very much! :tongue2:

Same w/ PWNIN (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwnin). It's not an acronym for bad words either. (I guess my mind's been in the gutter... :rolleyes2)

So, I reckon this whole world of gaming has spawned it's own language in the process.

Now I've done gone and larned somepin'. Reckon I can retire to baid now.
