Gunnar responded:
I thought the Y! WebRing list option still starts with the "first" site
in the ring. (Btw, that's how it works at RingSurf too, right?) But when
you call the hub page via the next5 option, it starts with the next
site.
Do you support "the Ringlink way", i.e. that the list starts with the
referring page?
I answer:
I support "the Ringlink way". I like starting the list with the referring
page.
The Y! WebRing list starts with the first site in the ring if there is no
referring site. For example, if you go thru the directory.
But if you go to the list (hub) page thru a referring site, it starts with
the "next" site.
To see this work, go to my page at
http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/rng4/yahoo_navbars.htm
Pick a navbar, any navbar.
Click on "Ring Hub".
If the list fits on one page, my site will be at the bottom of the list.
If the list requires more than one page, my site will be at the bottom of
the list on the prior page.
