"(I'm not going to repeat what's been already thoruoughly explained.)" Then why bother to answer at all. The functionality of SI has been completely trashed. Features have been eliminated. The new site has bugs not present in the old site. What it basically amounts to is you have turned in your machine gun to buy a stone ax, and are trying to convince everyone this is progress. While I appreciate some of the member suggestions for bug fixes (even though none of the suggestions have cured the problem), I don't see how your comment serves any useful purpose. This board was supposedly set up to address issues and report bugs. One might mistakenly get the impression a competent employee would take a few minutes to investigate the problem and offer a helpful solution. Instead, what started out as a polite request for information has now turned into a spitting contest. Why not just shut down SI altogether, then everyone can go to Yahoo anytime they feel like reading childish comments?

Dave, re Don Earl's black background issue ... There's a possibility that Don is observing the effect of bgcolor being defined as a null string by default.aspx ... when he is not logged in. At that point there is no user color option available, and a default is not being used, obviously. When bgcolor is a null string, I know Netscape 4.8 will end up with a black background, Netscape 7.1 with white. I don't know at which in-between version the change was made. In any case, a null string is not a good thing IMO. Regards, Ron
