Real Radix's Fat Fingers II

Real Radix has created a great site
FatFingers
He is open to suggestions on this and has taken many of our suggestions already on board.
Enjoy !:)
Insert From Martin: This is a lovely site, with a very clever premise. Many people can't spell (ut hmm, i should know, mine's awful) and mis-enter their Ebay entries. This means people don't search for them, so the price is low. What fat-fingers does is search all the common spelling mistake algorythms to try and find those bargains for what you're looking for. Simple and clever - i love it.
The creator of the site is a MoneySaver who posted the site first on here, always great. Unfortunately, the original thread was deleted, so this is a replacement.

greatkingbowser,
Could you try it again to see if it wasn't just eBay being a bit slow on Friday?
Anyone who has had the 'can see link but it cannot be clicked' problem - that has been fixed this weekend.What goes around - comes around

I still get an error when clicking the 'show misspellings' link, something along the lines of:
"The connection was was refused when attempting to contact adfarm.mediaplex.com"
I'm using Mozilla Firefox if that helps.0 -
Great website, thanks for the link0
