Yeah! Everyone kissed and made up. FT is great and I appreciate all the work Randy's crew put in. And I posted a "me too" message because I agree with blairvan horn that we are trying to give you feedback. I add that we are also trying validate each others problems so that we know we are not alone. Sometime the problem is only on our end and we don't know it unless we all chime in to compare difficulties.

In fact I had a problem over 18 months ago that I never understood. I would love an explanation and there are plenty of people here with IT backgrounds who might be able to answer. At the time (when I first joined FT) I logged on from work using 56K modem and AOL. At home I had a cable modem using IE. When I logged on to FT there were rarely any new posts. In other words if I logged on June 20th I would see only posts from say June 6th or before and there were no new posts. Of course at home FT was showing posts up to June 20. The next day at work FT still only had posts from June 6th or prior. At home FT was again up to date. Every couple of days from work FT would become current (ie. on July 1 there would only be posts up to June 6 but on July 2 all posts up to July 2 would now appear) but then for the next few days only posts up to July 2 would appear.

The only explanation someome (w/o any IT background) gave me was that when I was logging on to FT from work it was not actually connecting to FT but to some computer (server? something?) that was in the middle and was not updated. Note FT was not the only web site that I had this problem with.
