Mark, only problem is that sometimes my BookMarks page takes a minute to load. I'd play with it for a while, but probably end up in yaker's camp and just click it off. JMO, of course. What I'd still like to see, after all these years, is a time stamp clock on my bookmarks page. But hey, I'll just settle for a working website and not push things, if you know what I mean<GGG>

out of curiosity, why would you be the first one to turn that off? Sometimes SI is extremely slooooooooooooooooooooooow to the point of being locked up. I may be working on something else in another copy of IE in front of the SI copy and don't want internet access to occur automatically. IMHO, forcing features on people ALWAYS has unforseen negative consequences for SOMEBODY. Something that some folks LOVE, other folks will HATE. For example, if I don't figure out how to get rid of those "helpful" pop-up message balloons in Windows XP, I'm gonna go fetch my hammer.

I too would turn it off instantly ... because of it i don't leave the iHub subjectmarks page up, it bugs me even there, it would be far worse on SI where subjects page loads like a fat sloppy pig on downers ever since the post-Dryer brain trust messed with it .... like August i have lots of old threads marked ... Brad and Jeff had it set up so the ones with new posts loaded and were clickable before the rest without new posts showed up, that was fine, but now the entire page must load before you can see or use anything, which takes a while as it seems to need to stop and think about for many seconds after all bytes are loaded ... which would be fine for a modern machine on high bandwidth maybe, but i'm on string between tin cans and on the front of this magic box is cast 'Newcastle Iron Works 1792 Fill Oil Cups Daily'
