Little update. I just read on another thread by TBL SHOW, that someone had trouble with word wrap not working.

That's what I saw in the post that was messed up.

I now think that HTML I copied, using "View partial Source" did not have WordWrap working, causing a block of codes to string out to near forever. This was problematic for folks viewing that post with NETSCAPE browsers. They are having trouble with posting, self search, My mail, my comments, pings, nearly every function.

At some point here, I am going to duplicate that darn post and ask for Netscape volunteers to reply. Do I see any hands? lol Any Admin Moderators with Netscape? :)

HELP

That was me with the original complaint, and yes, I use Nutscrape 4.08.

The three things I have noticed are:

1. When I cut and past an article right out of...say...the Orange
County Register, the paragraphs are all broken up. IOW, "white space"
in the original text is duplicated on FR. This is something new. I always
thought that HTML ignored white space.

2. Word wrap doesn't work in the box in which I am now
typing this.

3. Attempting to visit a state "locale" locks up my browser after about 35K
of data, the darn thing just hangs. This is something new as well.

On the original topic, wouldn't it be possible to make all posts
from a person invisible to everyone but the poster? I think that
is what has happened to me lately. (Or maybe it's just my caustic
and abrasive personality.)
