John and Ice, I typed a message yesterday in response to John's message but kept getting the database error and couldn't post the message. SI started acting weird on Thursday night. My bookmarks were out of order and some were missing. I couldn't get my Peoplemarks to come up at all. Sometimes when I click on the new message count it takes me to the wrong screen. The time stamp on the last message for each thread was wrong. And worst of all, on Thursday night the message list for the threads contained what looked like everyone's login name instead of their alias. I sent SI technical support an email because hackers had access to have half of your login credentials. I don't know why anyone would want to login under someone else's name on SI, but you never know what kind of games a hacker will play. The login names aren't being displayed anymore, but my bookmarks are still messed up. It looks like they have some sort of problem with the database or index. What I want to know is how Kelvin, Ron, and Sue were able to post yesterday. I guess only a select few have priviledges. g BTW, someone started a thread to discuss these bugs. I don't have any interest in following the thread, but noticed it in the hot topic list. The link is Subject 36082 Have fun complaining! lol Dan PS to Paul: Thanks for the link to free PC long distance calls. The big long distance companies (AT&T, MCI Worldcom, and Sprint) were smart to get into the cellular business because wired long distance service might be history in 10 to 25 years.
