Re: [Lynx-dev] Google vs redirection limit [was Re: what controls the redirect limit?]

[Karen Lewellen]

I admit to getting all excited when  this came through, as I have one 
gmail account I can no longer reach due to the demand that JavaScript be 
in place.
None of these impacted that error.
Still, since my own redirect issues are not happening with a gmail 
account, but with the email  tied to my site, this is likely not a 
solution for me generally.
Yes  when i reach the infusionsoft  marketing tools creating them for me, 
I am moving forward, at least until I reach redirect number 10.
Here is hoping I can charm our administrator  to edit the redirect limit, 
helps all of those at shellworld that way.
