Interesting, are you using AOL? If not, can you give me a rundown of what you're using? (If you would rather send thru PM, that's fine.

AOL's e-mail servers are currently blocking a lot of LP's e-mail because they are identifying it as spam. You can blame your fellow AOL users who report our e-mail as spam, but do not blame the new website for that. You can also blame the absolutely horrendous AOL e-mail people, who make sending e-mail to AOL users an utter nightmare. I do not take responsibility for their failures. I can only control what I control.If you want to find any of the messages you are tracking -- even if your e-m... [ More ]

Bryan,Thanks for the feedback.

I have reversed the logic of the refresh code, so that hopefully even if your browser doesn't interpret the JavaScript correctly, it will not refresh that page.Can you please try again?

By the way, I typed this message using Internet Explorer 5.12 for the Macintosh, for Mac users who may be interested. It does not show the nice editor, but there is a plain text area to type in.I am surprised that new new site doesn't look all that bad in IE for Mac. I was expecting a lot worse. It's glitchy, but highly readable.

Messenger is actually a different piece of software, but the MSN Explorer in your previous post may be helpful. When you start your browser, try finding the About box for the browser. Usually it is found in the Help menu (the right side of the window's menu), and the last menu option is normally About so-and-so... Try clicking that, and let me know what it says as far as product name and version number.

The editor is an open-source editor used by several other sites, so I must conclude that it has been tested with AOL previously, and there is probably some popup setting that is blocking the box.
