          Hey Newf,

          Sorry for the dealy in getting your question answered, I've been real busy catching up with all the work I missed in getting this launch off the ground.

          To answer your question, IE is the preferred browser to use with this site. Netscape works, but you loose the option to post using the html wysiwyg editor. Other than that all options are the same. You are in advanced mode correct?-MarkSYSOP

          1. Newf | Mar 22, 2002 12:59am | #11

            Thanks for the reply

            Yes I am in Advanced, am also in MSIE 6. now.

            New question at 1406.17...General Discussion-Forum design-Message #17....The nav. buttons all go to general forums page, etc, please read post...

            Thanks again, busy couple of days!!!!....It will all work out in the end...

            ...Keep your stick on the ice...Newf ...Confused, wild, & lucid...

            Thanks. Now I'm me, not KenHill3!

        not entirely clear what I'm doing or where I am (I think I have been beamed onto planet Prospero) but am pleased to find out via this thread that at least I can be who I was before, more or less, which wasn't what I thought when I first went to log in. This is about all I have time for now but I've got my toe wet. Looking forward to the arrival of the rest of the diverse and motley herd.

        Let the confusion begin!

      Go to My Forums and then preferences to make your nickname/name as you would like it to read out to others. GW

        Yipperoo Greg, and you can change your nick to anything you like--including, say "kai", and post as me. Cool, eh?

        Hello web designers head up your what?
