I used that time warp feature and it displayed a message dated 2011/01/12 21:37:27 under Visual Foxpro, Classes-VCX by John Harold Belalcazar Loz.(which I had not seen displayed in the top pane before in my previous login period).

It displays the messages which were there at the time of the last refresh, plus any later messages, and does not refresh the top bar (number of new messages, replies, PMs, tracked messages) nor the left frame. The refresh button on the top brings only unseen messages, i.e. those after the last refresh, and it also refreshes the top and left frames.

It was a good thing it didn't refresh the buttons at the top (number of new messages) or else I wouldn't have been able to compare the behavior of the two :o) I like the new toys :o)
