I tried to send this reply last night & it wouldn't submit, it tried to connect to my ISP, so I copied it & mailed it to myself!!

me too - Netscape started playing up several weeks ago.
I'm sending
this thread to the techo friend who eventually sorted out
my problems
(except they keep coming back)

I now have 3 mudcat bookmarks - the original one, shorty
& the link from
my folk club website. Best one I've found is shorty,
most of the time -
but with all of them I have trouble reading threads. I
can read a thread
or 2, then click on the next one, & suddenly it's trying
to connect to
my email isp, not mudcat - & like John I get a "server
contacted,
waiting for reply" that hangs indefinitely, so I try
another bookmark,
mudcat or something else.

I'll study this thread at work tomorrow - thanks for all
the input.
