nowt happens when i click it. does it come up as secure for you then zeph?

tried the verisign link and did a search for hoteltravel but nothing came up which had me a little worried. not least because her indoors just booked a room at a hotel that told me over the phone it was full.

As the planner is no longer SSL secured we have to change to a direct link to verisign.
