>I downloaded the most recent Netscape to give it a run through the boards my legacy copy had problems with. It seemed to work. All the controls were there. Any one using Netscape on the UT?

I've sent the screenshot to Michel. The few things are missing, but I can live without them:
- don't see the little numbers next to the new messages, replies to your messages, agent and private messages icons.
- few links from the "More:" combo lead to topic for wrong conferences ("available positions" takes you to the first one in that page's combo, instead of VFP section)
- click on the '-' icon next to a thread gives a "directory read not permitted" or something like that.
- the picture moving behind the UT logo is blank, and so is the logo.
- reading the UT magazine opens a non-resizable window sized as a slighly large postage stamp, i.e. about 100x180 pixels or so.

And that's all I could remember. I'm using NS for pretty much everything (except my banking, which made me rather nervous recently, and even that's because of the stupid reconstruction the bank's website underwent this summer).

Several things in IE annoyed me vastly, so I went back to NS as soon as 6.1 came out. 6.2 is even better, the only thing that's annoying is the erratic behavior of textarea type fields, doesn't refresh after you delete or paste a larger block of text, it looks rather weird because the deleted or pasted area goes blank, but the workaround is quite easy - just type anything and it refreshes. And its email format is unbeatable: simple text, and pretty much full HTML in messages. I wonder whether Outlook 2002 allows for HTML tables in a message? I know 2000 doesn't. Netscape had it in v4.x, maybe in 3.x (don't remember that much).
