son of a gun, it works it works it works. thanks for being my guinea pig, Val. i just couldnt be bothered going thru all that nonsense for each server to find the right one. easy peasy when i copy'd the info out the msg source on your post. so now i'm back too but what to do? oh well, i'll just sit back and help you eat the hoarded xmas chocolates. pass the bowl please. :) j.
"jeanne-nzlstar*" wrote... i sure did post a page with a bunch of server links on it. the one i tried would only work for awhile. then tried another one and could only read on it. i'll soon find out if the same as you're now using will let me post thru OE. fingers crossed, j.
"Val" wrote... Had a few glitches that seem to be smoothing out. That which doesn't smo-o-o-oth will be soundly ignored. Also lost RCTQ on my newsreader a few months back but thanks to Jeanne (I think) who posted the place that had all the freebee newsreaders I am up and attum again. Now I'll just settle in with some hoarded Christmas chocolate and read about 40 gazillion posts to catch up :)
