I don't see the link in any browser when going directly to that page, so that might be some sort of bug in the site, or at least poor design.

However, when I enter Jon Hicks's postcode on the previous page <http://www.foe.co.uk/campaigns/climate/press_for_change/big_month/index.html>, I get a link; maybe there's not a forum for your postcode?

<sigh> User error. When entering my postcode in Camino & Firefox I didn't put a space between the 2 components of the postcode and so, the postcode wasn't found and so no link was presented. In Safari the postcode was auto-filled in the correct format and so the link was shown. I'm glad as I took up using Camino precisely because it seemed to be the least buggy Mac browser (& fastest).

Apologies for any inconvenience/time wasted. Marking as invalid.

No worries ;)

You might want to report to the site that they need better postcode validation there.
