Hi Noel

I see that Tim is helping you with the Firefox questions, and I don't want to butt in on that. I just wanted to add that sometimes we have issues with different browsers and we never do really figure out what the heck is going on.

For example, I use IE 7, and lately, when I try to edit a message, it opens up just fine, but the message isn't there. The window remains blank (so of course I can't edit it lol). It doens't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying. So I open up Firefox, and it works just fine. I've had other issues in the past and if I switch browsers, it works fine. That makes me think that (for what reason I don't know) we just have odd issues on occasion. Maybe it's the forum software, maybe it's the browser, maybe it's the person's computer, maybe it's a combination, I dunno. And then all of a sudden, the problem just goes away (go figure)

If you have another browser on your computer, just for the heck of it, you could try using that and see if you still have the same problem?

Sometimes, when I click "New messages to you", the bottom bar reads, "Waiting, compuserv.community." and I wait and wait and wait, and after a few minutes, X out the browser to start over. >>>

Almost forgot, this one I can explain. Sometimes (again, the reason I don't know and it's probably a variety of reasons), the page just doesn't completely load. And if it doesn't, it won't allow you to type in your reply box. But you're doing the right thing, just close out, and start over. Once in awhile, if you hit the X (not the very top right hand corner, but the X that is there on the address bar of the browser), to stop the page loading, that will work, but not always.

Good luck!
