 I finally got into IE and see that I can change the colors and size of the fonts - but how do you actually change the fonts? When I click on fonts, it doesn t give me a choice.
 
 Don t tell me I have to remember what they are called! [:o]

 marybeth1024 Now I m back in Netscape, maybe it s me and not Netscape, but I still can t figure out the fonts. [:(]

 marybeth1024Can t help you with the fonts, I just use whatever is there, but I m having trouble viewing with Netscape, maybe the new boards just don t work well with Netscape (can you can " does not play well with others" ? for website/forum designs). Webmaster Steve says it should work with Netscape, but until I get to the individual threads, the printing is almost illegible, dark print on darkbackground - I do my best to make out the topic lists, and hope I catch everything I m iterested in.  It is fine if I go to Internet Explorer, but I d much rather be able to use the browser we prefer, so I stubbornly plod through with Netscape.  We ll use IE if forced to - there are some websites that actually wedge Netscape,  but hate to have to take the extra steps to use IE and hate the hurky-jerky movement of it, among other things

 marybeth1024I finally downloaded Netscape 7.0 and the forum seems to be working well with that version for me. I had 4.5 previously and experienced the same viewing problems you are decribing.

 marybeth1024It does seem that the new format does not like Netscape 4X. Color and speed are much better in IE. We have Netscape 7, but have not tried it yet on PUT. I just don t care for the mail & news side of either Netscape 6 or 7.

 marybeth1024[link=http://www.opera.com]Opera 6.0[/link] works great!  There is a free version where you get to look at a small banner add.  Or you can pay to register it and get the entire screen to yourself.  You get what you pay for!  (Kinda like PUT![:)])

 marybeth1024Netscape 4.X definitely does not work with this board...although it did[/b] work perfectly on the RVExplorer board which is identical to this one right down to the dirty hospital yellow and all the other features.  I can t understand it but guess I ll just have to accept it.  Found out things work great here with Internet Explorer (all but the fonts), and then I installed Netscape 6.X which I had downloaded but never installed a long time ago and that works great (all but the fonts)[/b].   I haven t figured that one out yet.  Also, a few of the radio buttons don t seem to work for me.  Guess I ll do some email with ADMIN and see if they are aware of the bugs or are working on them.

 marybeth1024I also don t like switching back and forth from Netscape to IE. Plus IE has all those annoying popups.
 
 For some reason, nobody likes Netscape. [:(]
