[edit] Connecting using IE
I just tried the address http://ota.iambic.com:17/ in Internet Explorer (v 7.0) and it forwarded me to the main iambic site. Should this information be removed? Robferrer 11:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

- Done. Nardman1 13:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

- For Internet Explorer 6.0 http://ota.iambic.com:17/ works. Firefox 2.0 and Opera 9.1 cannot handle this. Normally that does not make sense because the protocols don't match. The correct browser syntax would be "qotd://ota.iambic.com". It's just an interesting behaviour of IE6 that shows that this browser trys to handle all kind of data / communication even if it does not understand what's going on. ~ Steffen 13:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- I still have IE 6 (fully patched) on my computer and I cannot reproduce this result. Nor can I reproduce it by modifying Firefox to allow port 17. Nardman1 19:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] QOTD on Wikiquote
There's also a Quote of the Day on the main page of Wikiquote: q:Wikiquote:Quote_of_the_day. --Max 08:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is this a Valid example?
The wikipage mentions, quotes4all.net (tcp, udp) - Serves the quotes of the site. Is this a valid example for QOTD or is it commercial site link added in the wikipedia article.(in which case, it is vandalism).
