Problems arise when you got to deal, on top of that, with multiple files, file names and even SQL table names, spread across a couple servers. Thanks for reporting the 'about' link problem. I think it works, but you may need to wait (a while) until the page is fully loaded. The issue seems to lie with some pieces of script taking forever to load (need to look into that) and thus preventing the JS function from being loaded. Of course, if you have JS disabled, everything's broke. Yep. Gotta look into a failsafe someday. Kae

I guess this might be somehow related to the fact that coders have to deal with artificial languages, instead of the organic ones. Thank you for tharing your thoughts with me !
