I've heard from a couple of people who cannot seem to see the Forums. I'd like to know what operating systems and browser versions people are using who CAN see them. That might help me narrow down problem combinations.

I use Windows 95 with MSIE 4.0

What do you use?

>>I use Windows 95 with MSIE 4.0

I use a real operating system, Windows NT 4.0 [g,d&r - nothing like OS comparisons to start a flame contest]. I also use Red Hat Linux 5.0.

On NT using IE 4.0 and Netscape 4.05 the forums seem to work fine - also fine under Netscape 4.0 with Linux.

For what its worth, MS has posted yet another set of fixes to IE. Follow this link to upgrade to IE 4.01.

John,
Windows 95 & IE 4.0 (thanks to the link you built into your webpage). The bars are working fine. No problemos.

No laughing please!

I am using Windows 3.11 and IE4.0. The problem I have is that when you click on the Collector Forums icon. (address
lighthousekeepers.com/cgi-localbin/forumscgi/Ultimate.cgi) All I get is a blank screen where the body of text should be.

Yes, I know 3.11 is an antique, but I spend my money on HL's

If you get a blank screen, how do you get to this area to post a message?

I've heard from a couple of people using AOL's browser having similar problems. - Blank screen when they should be seeing Forums.

John, I am using a very long www address with many numbers, symbols, and words.
This address was provided by you for direct access to the General Forum. This is the only way I can access any of the forums.

It is working though, and I have the address bookmarked so I don't have to type it in each time.
