Hi all,
Here at shellworld we are using Ubuntu 16.04  with elinks compiled to 
support java scripting.
I am working with the partner indigogo site generosity,
www.generosity.com
even in elinks  the site does not allow one to log in or create an 
account.
Now, just for kicks, I tried visiting the same site in lynx but with the 
send user agent  function turned off.
I do not know what lynx uses if you turn off the send user agent feature, 
but such often gets me past problem places, and  such was the case with 
generosity.com
So, I am wondering about the elinks user agent.
The site may work better in general with elinks, if I can get it to work, 
and since the user agent seemed to help, I wanted to try this possibility.
Thoughts?
Kare
