I disabled my anti-malware and my firewall, and still have no retrieved news items. Only the red link that goes nowhere. If I click on Legacy News, I go the News webpage. A thought…IE 10 is the installed browser on Win7. I have seen some unexplainable behavior with one of my sites using IE10.
No, there is more going on here. Looking at the source code, the a href=”legacy.link.news.refresh” is the link for the Make sure you are connected…message. That link doesn’t load regardless of any (or no) prefix used. It is the same in Firefox as IE 10.

On the Legacy Home tab, there is an Options button in the upper right corner, click that and then the Options item on the popup menu. On the dialog box, make sure Allow Legacy to Connect to the Internet is selected. But this would only block the news items from coming up by default, they should still come up when you click on the “Retrieve” message. Only thing I can think of is there is something external to Legacy that is blocking that particular function for you, possibly a firewall or antivirus function but it seems strange that the news retrieval would be blocked and nothing else. If you click on the Legacy News header, does the Legacy Family Tree News webpage open? If that also fails it may be a problem with your ISP’s Domain Name Server not recognizing the news.legacyfamilytree.com name (vs www.legacyfamily.com or just legacyfamilytree.com).

No - you're not alone. I get the same message Barbara On 03/01/2014 22:31, Don Hanson wrote: I know that there were many entries in Legacy News under the Legacy Home tab before the Holidays. Now there is only a red ‘Make sure you are connected to the internet and then click her to retrieve the latest news items.’ Clicking does nothing. The pointer changes to the finger when I hover the link. All of the other internet related help works. When I go to Legacy News on the web, there are entries dated during this time. So, am I alone?
