I wonder if people on macs or with the latest WIndoze stuff (7) have less problems. If I just click on the link from the list in NEtscape it freezes my computer.. so I need to cut and paste... if people have put brackets around the links I have to "Reply" to their messages so I can cut the < >'s out.
it sounds like Netscape is very broken with respect to URLs in email messages (bracketing URLs has been part of the email standard since the 1980s)
if you like integrated browser/email, i cautiously suggest updating to Seamonkey, which is in the Netscape lineage -- it shares code with Thunderbird, which is better (but far from perfect) in how it handles URLs
Miserere - just wanted you to know that I don't think what you really mean to do is bad conceptually, its just that flicker does really give me a hard time . I can't look at photos with white backgrounds on the web - thas my eye problem.
there is an add-on for most browsers (except Safari) called Stylish which lets you add style packs for Flickr and other sites; via Stylish i'm using a gray background for Flickr in Chrome right now (a black background is also available); again i suggest this cautiously because there it takes a few minutes to set up; here is the starting point:

From an asesthetic point of view, once I could click and see the stuff on a black background (which I found by accident when I tired to enlarge a photo) then I ws fine.. but it is slow going. (I have XP, btw) And from a purely aesthetic point of view,. I hate square thumbnails - unless the original is square.
i thought i saw an option to turn that off, but i can't find it right now
I groan at the thought of adding another place to log into -its just too cumbersome for me. [...] email is my friend.
Ann, i am an email diehard too ... it might interest you to know that you can set up your Flickr account so that you can simply email your photos into it, no need to log in at all; Flickr will use the title and body of your email and you can even add tags in the email; for example i just posted the following that way:
