Hyperlinks change after upload !?

[Flex Flint]

Hello,

I'm encountering a really bizar problem: a hyperlink to a Geocities webpage
changes after being uploaded!
Huh? Yes, it goes from "geocitiies" to "geocitiees" and vice versa !!!

I've tried everything I can: latest MS Update (I work under XP), virusscan,
checked for adware, nothing.
I have even removed the pages a few times from Yahoo, and then put them back
on, still nothing.

Worst case scenario to encounter would be problems with the Yahooserver I
guess.

Can anyone help please? Frontpage 2000 - version is 4.0.2.2717 ... .

Regards,

Fixed the problem -- for the time being anyway .. .

I was thinking about a problem called "hard coding", but that does not seem
to be it, see here:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/geo/ghtml/ghtml-23.html

I did find the "geocitiies" back though, and removed an "i" from it in the
Yahoo-editor itself, not in FP2000. Let's hope things stay that way, I
really can't find a possible explanation.

The problem definitely is *not* with Frontpage. Now I'm getting "geocitiess"
.... . Did the same procedure again, problem solved.
Darn ... .

Two testpages were created to see how Yahoo was handling things.
