Try downloading Netscape. IE seems to be a big problem for most people here. You can get it for free here: http://home.netscape.com/computing/download/index.html?cp=hom05tdow

Allison, I add my voice to Karen's in encouraging you to use Netscape. I have used 4.0 (Navigator) with no problems since it came out. Upgraded to Communicator but went back to Navigator as it worked much smoother and I did not want those extra bells and whistles.

Might I make a little suggestion? You put the current time on our postings. That is wonderful but a little meaningless since it is Austin time. I talk to people world wide, and it would be so much easier to figure out what time it was for them locally if you used GMT or Zulu. Please??? hope...hope...!

Actually, the time-stamp is Eastern time, I believe.

Maybe not...

Thank you all for your help. I was using Netscape before I upgraded. I shall give it a whirl.

I'll let Terry know about the time request...

Where is the latest Colin Firth conference (118)? It's disappeared from my drool index?

It is there Chris, but there haven't been hardly any postings since early this morning. You can always double check by typing in the direct URL: http//www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/drool/118/new Then at the bottom, in the "redisplay" box you can put in -1 or -2 to back up a couple of comments (if necessary) or as many as you want to doublecheck if you've missed anything.

This one will be clickable: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/drool/118/new

I am having a problem. 34 and 72 have both disappeared from my list. Marcia sent me an adress for 34 but when I click on it all that comes up is the window for posting. The 72 she sent only gives me a couple of messages. I don't know why they no longer appear on the list.

probably has to do with the jump to 2036 twice recently... have the topics reappeared for you yet?

Terry...could this be a help in funding for cf.com? This is a British Theatre website...has a list of all websites pertaining to British Actors. "CALLING ALL WEBMASTERS/MISTRESSES! About.com is launching a new Affiliates programme which will enable those who run related sites to become a part of the About.com communuity and earn a little money into the bargain. Your British Theatre related site could carry a banner or button linking directly to mine, and, if you like, a search engine which will carry out searches on the British Theatre site or even the whole of About.com's 650+ sites, and every time a visitor clicks on the banner, the button or the search box, you get paid. I know that many of you already link to this site - you have my gratitude for that - so formalising the arrangement will give you a little back in return.

Terry: Did you receive the check for Aishlings donation to Spring? And my email? Pl. respond..either here or email. Thanks, evelyn

He responded to me and it is taken care of - or do you still wish information from Terry??? (For those reading this in the far future, Terry was asked and responded to me and I sent the thank you note - thanks to Evelyn's diligance.)

Although I am not a voting member, I agree that a discussion like this would bring more meaningful results sooner on springcom. Not all the members log on to Drool daily as we.I shall take the initiative and transfer Terry's remarks there now.

I have serious difficulties with posting on board 126. I am just testing my connection to "submit" function here.

No problem! So why 126 isn't working???

126 works for me, Arami

How's your connection to Spring? To Austen.com? To firth.com?

I can get to Austen.com finally :)

Great! We worked through this today, didn't we Ann? How's your connection to http://www.austen.com ? http://www.spring.net ? http://www.firth.com ? http://www.bridgetsequel.com ?

Question: When will I be able to key in spring.net/yapp-bin.....instead of the numbers ,and get this site. I keep getting the old digihost one.

Austen.com is working. However this page http://www.austen.com/board/index.cgi is not. Can you find out why?

I'll look in to this, it should be very soon when you get this site by name Evelyn. Probably permissions problems.

the tea room is down too (is that with spring too?? not sure)...

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change my email address without resiging and re-registering?

I can tell you what worked for me. I clicked on Main Menu at the bottom of this page, then on View/Modify Preferences. The next screen had a place to change email. The URL for that page is http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/userinfo However, I hadn't ever posted when I changed my email address. Good luck.

MaryAnn, thanks for that info. Unfortunately when I got there it did not seem to want to change my email. I got some random words which implied that I was not in a conference and then an error message!! Terry are you out there - can you help?

I'll need to do some testing on this Allison, for now I'd just get another sign on, but I'll look in to it and see how this is done. Email me your new email address and I may be able to do it manually. Or just post it here as a response and I'll get it next time I read though this topic.

Thanks for your help Terry.

What was the solution?

I've still got a query out to Kaylene, so it's still open. Hope to close it out in the next couple of days.

But I see that Allison was able to change her email address, so perhaps that "change your preference" thing did work.

But I see that Allison was able to change her email address, so perhaps that "change your preference" thing did work No it didn't work for me. I think Terry just rubbed his magic lantern;-)

Sorry, my mistake. Drive on. ;-)
