    Just Nitpicking

    The XML, HTML, Javascript, Web and CGI forum has this for it's description:

    Discuss XML, HTML, Javascript and popular CGI languages here. Topics include: Perl, Cold Fusion, and more. Note Java, ASP and VB Script and PHP have their own forums.
    The text Java and ASP and VB Script are links to the forums, however PHP does not have a link.

    It was probably just a mistake, but if any JM employees ever run out of work to do and get bored, maybe they can make a link for us?

    Or one of our friendly neighborhood mods?
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    There is a limited amount of space for providing a description. There isn't enough room to add the link.

    Brad!

    The number of characters allowed to be put into the description field within the VBForums software. The characters in the href tag count. The description is currently at the max.

    To get around this, I'd have to hack the software --

    Well, the bold part above seems redundant to me, since the title and previous sentence should allude to the topics.

    But that's cool. I doubt that'd even give enough characters for another link.

    Thanks for looking into it, Brad.
