Dear Users, We would firstly like to apologise to all users who have been having problems accessing the My FengShui Site www.geomancy-online.com since 21 Feb 2000 at 10 pm (+0800).

Dear Users, We have disabled the auto focusing on the windows for Netscape 3 and below, so that any javascript will not cause you from having difficulties logging into the forum or any pop up windows.

But at least this should allow you to login to the system properly. Whenever you login to My FengShui, My Adviser, or My Mail, the system will launch the site into a new window. I have modified the startup so that My FengShui and My Adviser will not share the same window. This would allow you to switch between the two window in case you n…
