We are only a speck in the Channel! That is great, now people will know where the Channel Islands are situated, and how we are closer to France than to the UK. Many thanks.

It won't accept me - keeps telling me it's an invalid city and offers me other cities of the same name in the States.

Oz I tried that the first time, and just went and tried it again. It still keeps telling me that it's an invalid city, and offers me other Burlingtons in the States...sniff!

Skunkee, are you close to Hamilton, because it recognizes Hamilton, Ontario (Canada). Maybe you could use that.

No, I use a PC and tried it with both Netscape and IE.
Not sure if it is something to do with security levels.

The only change which happens when you click on 'not in the USA' is that the 'zipcode' field changes to 'city'. After you type a few letters of your city, a drop down box should come up with your choices.

Skunkee, have you considered moving to a Burlington in the US?  Can't you pick a town nearby? There must be something near you that's listed!

I know, you poor thing  . I tried it too. Did you see my earlier post about Hamilton? Maybe you use that one.

Skunkee, under the FAQs, they say they're getting lots of reports of missing Canadian and other cities (I wonder where they went  ). You can add your city to the City Request List. Or Leau's suggestion would work

Ummm, I don't think moving is really an option, and forgive me for being...territorial, you might say, but I'd rather not pretend that I lived in Hamilton. If you knew the two cities, you'd understand why. Perhaps I'll look and see if I can find that request list though!

skunkee, maybe they've got Mississauga. Surely it's overgrown Burlington by now? The darn thing gave me trouble too, nothing happened when I clicked on "Not in the US". Then, it caused a worse problem, (or I assume it had something to do with it, as it happened right after). It wouldn't let me back out of the page, just gave me the little 'wait' signal, so I decided to shut down that page, and come back to Futnrivia on a new page. Well, I clicked on Netscape, which is what I use, and instead of my usual home page coming up, I got a 'registar now' page, and had to reregister to get onto Netscape. Now all my bookmarks and cookies are lost.

I added myself earlier, debated whether to put my picture on, decided it was better to keep an air of mystery, and them my computer crashed. Oh wellity. I'm there now.

Well, harumph  ! I get this big white screen with links...I hit the links...nothing happens. I typed in my zip and shoutout. Imagine what happened next? Nothing. It's a very nice white screen, though, I must say  ....
