        Sorry bear, I don't have the lovely Mac, but I think the Mac has other tools to format that do come through w/out having to resort to typing in html gimme a break Shift+LessThan then html code then Shift+GreaterThan what a drag.

      kai,

      My usual browser is Netscape. Right now I'm on IE. I don't see anthing above the reply button.

      What's the deal?

        Dear Ed,

        Some folks have had to go to IE6 to get the thing working. Talk to Newf.

        Still colorless, Fred

          Fred,

          This is IE4 and my Netscape is 4.7 -

          I might be able to find Newf at the old site, but I wouldn't know where to begin here.

          So, you mean, I'll probably have to upgrade my browser to enjoy the wonders of this new format? Or learn HTML like I really have the time for that?

          Oh, this is fun already.

          What good is it if some of us can't use it?

          I must say, the spell checker is nice!

          Ed.

            Hi... It's usually easy to find me in the 'shed!!! The fancy stuff here does not work in  Nutscrape 4.6 or 6.1, or 6.2,  so I had to give in to #### EIEIO 6. something. you can download it from their site, it's free, takes hours on dial up, but... I have a 15" screen, every thing fits...If you do all this make sure your are in advanced, not basic( at bottom of right frames)  I would recommend a scroll mouse, you need it!

            Joe Fusco's site is excellent, but is down right now, keep on checking for it...

            This may all sound like a pain, but it gets better and more friendly the longer you play around with things and read  of other people's problems and solutions...

            Just ask... someone has an answer...

            Keep your stick on the iceNewf

        Hmm, I can't take a pic of this screen, but on my screen using IE, I have formatting bars above the msg box area. Doesn't work in NS.

        (P.S. Only visible when you press Reply)

          Okay I know this may not belong here, but here goes. Why can't I save a thread? I like to bookmark a thread that may be of interest to Lars for him to look at later. Saves time having to look it up again. Anyone know how to do this? Or is this not possible with the new prospero? ThanksTamara

          1. calvin | Mar 25, 2002 05:04am | #9

            How bout that thumbs up thing.  Use it on the message (folder maybe?) you want him to look at and then choose that go to high interest to me in the msg box upper left.............if I could go back w/o losing this page I could tell you exactly what I meant.  Can you understand this?Remodeling Contractor just outside the Glass City.

          2. calvin | Mar 25, 2002 05:05am | #10

            That was the "show discussions" box.  Try that, it might work...........Remodeling Contractor just outside the Glass City.

          3. roucru | Mar 25, 2002 05:41am | #11

            Okay this is what I tried.... I right click on the thread and it shows favorites in the box that comes up...then I added this discussion and it worked.  Thanks for the help.Tamara
