After three weeks, I got on, and noticed people had been posting all that time. So, it wasn't just a MS Explorer problem.

Regardless, I dislike MS Explorer; I much perfer Netscape. However, the point may be moot in a few years, since I don't think Netscape is going to be supported much longer. Also, MS has been successful in getting their IE on just every PC (for example, I have a CAD system that now requires IE if you want to use the "Help" files.)

From what I've read, MS actually has also written their own Internet Protocol. They are waiting for people to be totally sick of being hit with IP related hacks (denial of service, etc.,) and when people are desperate, MS will say; "We can help... just use our IP and everything will be fine ....!" Which is really slick, since MS themselves will make things worse by adding the ablity of XP to spoof IP addresses (the current "standard" install of Windows does not allow spoofing.)

My only complaints, with both Netscape and Mozilla, is on occasion the new posts/no new posts icons don't show, it doesn't show the date/time of my last visit, and the unread icons show as read in the forums. These all happen at the same time which makes finding new post a bit harder.

My ISP is Optimum; I had to go with them when @Home died. I didn't know that my ISP would cashe stuff.. I'm gonna look into that, because you're right: they shouldn't do that.

Brad, I appologize. I did not inted to be "telling" you what to do with the site. I was merely offering a suggestion. Please forgive me if you thought it wasn't worded as such.

Adam: Maybe Joe already answere that question, but that doesn't mean I understood it. But that's ok. It's a bit over my head.

There is absolutely no reason for bandwidth to cost even half as much as it does. It's price gouging. Hopefully the industry will settle and prices will come down... then we can do away with proxy cache altogether and everyone will have a connection that is at least 10 times faster than a 56k modem.

By the way, working or not, does everyone hear the sound when the button is clicked (clicking on the "Forums" or any other link in the Flash menu (not the regular one) should give you a "woosh" sound)? I can hear it on all of my computers and browsers, both PC and Mac. But I have heard that it doesn't make the sound on Netscape 4.6 (I use 4.77).

...Oh, and I like the way the links get bigger too, but I digress...

I guess we'll keep the site simple and ugly for ya, folks!

Besides, if you wanted to get rid of simple and ugly, you'd have to take out many of the pictures of us film-tech'rs (myself included)!
