This has common questions and some answers to them. This will change frequently, check the modification date on this page (the FAQ frequently to see when it was last updated). Note the time computation for last updated time/date calculates using a different time zone in Safari but not Firefox, this is a bug and I won't be able to correct it now, just make note of the time when you check and look for the change next time |
