This is extremely odd, Bones.

    I have the MM6 Tavern bookmarked. It's the same bookmark that I've been using for over 15 years, just transferred from one computer to the next as they are replaced. But although I log on to MM6, what comes up in the address bar is MM9. It's exactly the same address I get when I log on to MM9. I do not doubt there is a perfectly good reason for this, but I must confess that when I spotted it, there was a swift double-take, followed by a "Duh — what the deuce is going on here????"

    I assume that Redneck has shut his site down or something?

    The bookmark still gives me the MM6 Tavern. It's the re-route from the drop-down menu in the MM9 Tavern that switches the display to the MM6 Tavern, but does not alter the contents of the address bar or the name of the tab.

    These boards are constructed using a charming old HTML technology called FRAMES. That dropdown box is just loading the MM6 board in the MM9 parent frame. That should be fixed. Someday. Probably a long time from now.

    the links themselves (below the drop-down box) obviously change the address bar. Just the box itself doesn't

    I get the exact opposite effect. When I log on it comes up MM6 but when I change to 7, 8, or 9 the address bar stays MM6.

Yes, it's the same effect....

    The address bar is controlled by the parent frame, and the code from the dropdown opens the new tavern within the existing frame. The code used in the menu bar below it correctly escapes from the parent frame.

    it depends on which Board you've bookmarked. That's where your address bar will start. If you change to another Board via the links, the address bar will change, if you use the drop-down, it won't

This is best noticed when you click an external link in these Taverns and then want to copy the address from the address bar

    But, as it is usually said, don't fix it if it's working. And it works.
