DailyDi, don't know if you're reading this... I think I figured out what the problem is. The story pages (at least all the ones I looked at) contain "content-type" meta tags containing the correct "charset" info for those pages (Windows-1252). However, when the page is served, the server is sending a "content-type" HTTP header with incorrect information... it specifies the charset as "UTF-8" which causes the pages to display improperly. Apparently in browser-land, HTTP headers trump meta tags. Yes I'm a geek! Moi

Just a quick note for those that may not know... it appears that the diapers have not changed, but one important thing that's changed is the sizing recommendations printed on the package. I'm 200+ lbs with a waist a little over 40". Was buying the S/M size Depends but now the package labeling indicates that the large size is for anyone over 170 lbs / 36" waist. So I bought a package of the large ones (thinking the diapers themselves may have changed) and they're way too large. So if you've been using Depends, stick to the same size regardless of what it says on the package.

This is probably a silly question but... most of the PO boxes I've seen aren't nearly large enough to hold even a small package of diapers. How does it work when you receive a package that won't fit in the box?

Don't know if this has any relation to the issue mentioned in BBoy's thread, but it's been happening to me forever... In Firefox (version 3.0 and 3.5) in almost all of the stories, there are question marks on a black diamond background where all the apostrophes ("'") should be! I can correct the problem by going to view - character encoding and selecting "Western (ISO-8859-1)", but whenever I navigate to another story page or even refresh the current page the setting is lost. Does anyone have any clever ideas what do do about this?

Doh! Actually the card I had trouble with was a Simon card! This was about 2 years ago, maybe they've got things working better since. I'm not too worried about ongoing fees, for one thing they're strictly limited by law in the state where I live. Also, once I've purchased the card I'd use most of its value quickly anyway.

I'm curious... I see a some recommendations here for using a Visa gift card to protect one's privacy when purchasing DL products. Just wondering if I could get details of what people's experiences have been like with different vendors? I tried it once using a local mall gift card that supposedly could be "used anywhere you'd use a regular Visa card", and had really bad luck. The vendor had to try multiple times to get the charge authorized and ended up sending me a nastygram saying "please don't use that card with us ever again". I wonder if it's just that particular card, or maybe because I used it very soon (couple hours) after I had registered my address with the card issuer, maybe the data didn't have time to propagate thru their computer system?
