    nope........

    web based is the way forwards.....

    every time you change isp, you have to go through and tell everyone you're changing email.... a right royal pain in the !!!!!!...

    I don't change unless I move houses Amba, and I know it's a pain ... but until the spammers pee off ...what's the answer? Bearing in mind they can access the site day or night?

    I hate the way they take over .... and it's far-fetched of me to think that only ISP mail adds should be used ....

    Sorry - rant over x

    Just a thought for Amba, If her ISP did free webhosting e.g freenetname.co.uk and have own domain name, and carry this round forever.......(well maybe not forever, but you get the idea !)

    AOL? First ISP I ever used ...and the worst ...

    But I understand Amba - it's not money-saving ....

    if we don't do it, then ppl will spend all morning posting on them saying things like 'what a silly idea' etc, and they'll keep getting pushed up.

    If we push them up once, then they'll go....

    I didn't use Digital Spy until about a year after I found it because it required ISP email address and I didn't have one at the time.
    A lot of people I know who use a computer don't have an ISP email address.
