zMUD vote button - a warning

We have preliminary information that the zmud script could cause you
trouble under various circumstances.

First, if your default browser isn't Internet Explorer (IE).
Second, if you aren't very careful with wrapping. Turns out that
some of those lines in the post wrapped but should NOT be wrapped
when they are entered into zmud.

Antori is working on an update that will work even if wrapping is
messed up. For those of you who want to give something a try, here
are some notes.

I'll put line numbers at the start of each line. Make sure that the
lines wrap ONLY at line numbers. So there may be some very long lines.

(1) #url http://www.achaea.com/irex/tmsvote/vote.php
(2) #until (@Voting=1) {
(3) #var Voting %DDE( iexplore, WWW_GetWindowInfo, 1)
(4) #if (%left( @Voting,
64)="http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/topmuds/rankem.cgi?id=sarapis")
{Voting=1} {Voting=0}
(5) }
(6) #DDE iexplore WWW_OpenURL {javascript:document.click.submit()}
(7) #unvar Voting

Line 4 is the one to be careful about. It's quite long. Don't add
any extra spaces in it, and put it in all together into zMUD.

Or wait a bit till we get the updated button/alias.

Penned by my hand on the 20th of Sarapin, in the year 366 AF.
