I haven't been able to access my outbox for about a year as well. I finally just gave up trying. Lola:)

>>BTW, I'm running IE with a cable connection. << Ditto, but only a problem with the outbox.

August, Yes, the outbox access is much slower than other responses. On Netscape 4.76(?), it was about 30 seconds or so. I'm going to take a techie guess here and guess that they've changed the indexes that access the outbox folder, and that they're sequentially reading some tables somewhere to assemble your outbox folder. I suspect that the more posts you have, and the more bookmarks/peoplemarks you have, the longer it takes to assemble and display your outbox. I don't think your choice of browser matters much, but I could be wrong. If my guess is correct, then this could be either a database design flaw or an easily correctable glitch. I suspect it's a design flaw and not easily correctable. BWDIK... <g> KJC

Rephrased or Do you think they care ? Readers of this thread know that Jeff and Brad worked closely with the users to resolve problems that appeared. That spirit of communication created a vital community, something that is sadly lacking in the dot.bomb scarred landscape of the Winternet today. The community still lives, but it no longer thrives. The main reason for this is a new leader here on SI, many of you know her, miss-management. Silicon Investor is threatened in the current situation in several ways. Infospace continues to be the target of lawsuits, miss-management makes gaffes likes this #reply-16010385 and I can find twenty unanswered questions to miss-management in the last 100 posts. If it is not just wind but an actual boat appears here #subject-51389 then yah, there could be WAR. I will continue to post here, as long as I don't get too many Server 500 errors. SI is and always has been my Internet home. In a real sense Brad Jeff and Jill made this part of the Internet what it is today, smart, wise, knowledgeable, clever, witty, kind, polite, understanding...I could continue forever. You can still feel right at home here, I do, but as time passes you notice the dying are not being replaced by the newly born. Lots of questions have arisen since the halcyon days, let us hope miss-management will deign to answer. Brad and Jeff and Jill chose (Bob) so he wasn't as instrumental in defining the community so much as exemplifying it. It helps explain the current attitude of miss-management knowing this, she may really not give a damn what the fish think.
