Thanks for the info.... what is important at my age is that I change as
little as possible to limit the chances of my blood pressure getting to
dangerous levels... :-)
learning new useful things slowly is fine, but my netscape communicator
setup is NOT something I am ever going to change...
My workaround, actually, for things that I truly want to look at and
have time to look at - is to open Firefox and go to the PDML archives,
OR - look at web mail first...
I know NEtscape 7.0 is behind the times but I get all my mail downloaded
to my machine and leave none of it on the server on line.
It is all wonderfully easy for me to deal with this way.
I won't say NEVER - to a different set up for mail, but not if i have
to answer mail from the web. I bend only to ebay on that and copy
everything to myself - its my filing system, that I can actually
remember and these days that is really important.
But also... I don't have any real interest in posting any photos on
flicker for any reason.... I don't want even one more account
on line than I have... it isn't just the mechanics - and I'm really not
into the partnering up thing at all (maybe I just told that
to Christine off list - too much like school/work :-)
Like fellow Sagitarian Old Blue eyes would sing "I go my way by myself
..." . I do consider the PUG kind a group thing and would hate to see
it suffer more for any reason. I did like Larry's scavenger hunt when I
was hunkered down in the bad weather - that was like a game
and I didn't ahe to actually go out and shoot anything new LOL
But thanks for all the info anyway

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

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:
<http://userstyles.org/styles/24868/dark-grey-flickr-photoshop-style-update-19>
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:
