Internet Explorer users - a solution

August 25, 2000
From: Bill Rudman.

In my earlier message I mentioned a problem we were having on the Forum when using Internet Explorer. The best way to describe it is that when you click on the next word: "message", you should go to the message I am talking about. If you have the problem, you will go to the top of the 'About the Forum' page instead.

We don't know why it has suddenly started happening even after 10 days of testing and changing how the Forum operates. All we can say is that we have solved the problem for Internet Explorer 5 users. So my advice is to upgrade from Internet Explorer v4 to version 5.

You can download an upgrade from Microsoft but it is very slow. Another way is to look at Computer magazines, which often have a free CD of software stuck on the front cover. Often they include the latest version of Netscape and Internet Explorer, which is a much quicker way of getting the program than downloading. I just did it and struck no problems - and it is a much better browser than Version 4.

However if you feel uncomfortable fiddling with your computer seek some advice first.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
