FYI: I noticed there appears to be some problems getting on the message board again using Netscape. It does not always open up quickly and when it does, it is very slow. Sometimes if I hit reply, it takes me somewhere else on your site (to the sign in page). My Internet provider is thru a cable system. At home, I access you via MSN (telephone modem) and have never had a problem. Internet Explorer works fine on both systems.

kid, I have both Netscape and I.E. on my home 'puter, and use a cable modem to access. I don't even bother trying to connect to MFirst with Netscape anymore, as it never seems to open. I.E. works just fine though. I'm no computer geek, so I'm not sure why it is.

No problem Shep. If we don't have a sense of humor, why bother? Actually, I just wanted them to know about it. I like the Netscape better. Howver, it seems that Explorer works on everything. They had this problem fixed recently. Now it's up to its' old tricke.

It all comes down to netscape not following all the rules with html. Not that IE does. In fact, there are very few browsers that do (opera, lynx, a few others). That said, new html standards come out, netscape is slow to adapt, and gets left in the dust. Most all of the designers I know prefer to not worry about netscape at all. It often requires 3 times the code and 10 times the time to code a site to work as designed in netscape.
