Only in the preferences, not on a toolbar or pull-down context menu.

On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Edit > Preferences].  On the
Preferences window, select [Privacy & Security > Images].

On the Images pane, there is a section "Animated images should loop".
Select either the Never or Once radio-button.

If you have the PrefBar extension installed, you can create a menulist
item on the PrefBar toolbar for the image.animation_mode preference
variable.  The values are normal, once, and never (just as for the radio
buttons).  However, I don't know if using this menulist will work on a
Web page that has already loaded and displayed.

Well, when you overwrite all the executables with a reinstall,
all that is left is the profile(s)--which are in another location.

I did ASSuME you've got all the bits of your profile(s)
backed up to external media.
...and bookmarks.html is the easiest to restore of any of it.


You don't want to delete your active Profile, you want to create a new 
profile that is totally unique from the current one.  In Windows go to 
Start/All Programs/SeaMonkey and in the drop down menu you should see an 
option named Profile Manager.  Click on Profile Manager and create a 
brand new profile with a unique name.  Select the option to always use 
the new Profile to open SeaMonkey.


Try it out with the new profile and if all goes well you can copy your 
old Bookmarks file from the old profile into the new profile.  As a 
safety net before copying the old files into the new profile rename the 
new file by adding NEW into the filename.  In the event you copy a 
corrupted file and it again trashes SeaMonkey you can remove the bad 
file and use the known good file by renaming back to its original name.

This is usually a problem with the Web server.  If reloading did not
help, then I would say it might also be a problem with the Web page
itself.



I have noticed, as has everyone else I know, that the ENTIRE Internet 
has slowed to a crawl.


Even with our DSL at the College where I teach, the Internet is often 
slower than Hell.

Have you played with your TCP/IP settings recently? (MTU, any window 
size, TTL, ...)

Or used any "tuning" software which might have changed things like that?
regards

Martin


No, I haven't - I'm not smart enough to do those things !

All I have relatively new is Spybot (the new version ) and AVG watching 
over things.


This is not a time-out thing either as I get no message - just a blank 
browser.


If I reload, the site comes up immediately - like SM 1.1 forgot to load 
the screen, as it were.

The reason is that entering this in the URI window of
the browser, triggers a refresh of the available articles
list for the given newsgroup at the said server.


Have you tried opening the Bookmark Manager and entering it there via 
the option to create a new bookmark?


Martin

Thank you very much. Yes that works.
I had previously tried  entering the URI in the URI field in the
browser, and then clicking bookmarks > bookmark this page.
But that didn't work (for me).

This bookmarking of arbitrary URIs can also probably be useful
for local files, or ftp, etc.

Stumbled on a way to do it.  I had View/ShowHide /Card Summary Pane

Hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread! ;)
I have set SM mail to save addresses in the address book so I can keep 
them for those I respond to and don't previously have the address for. 
I don't trust my self to remember what I already have, so I don't want 
to use the right click on the "From" displayed in the mail. ;)


But ever so often I have to go through the "Personal Address Book" and 
delete addresses that already are in any of my 2 other address books, 
that are "Collected Adresses" and 1 more. If I set SM to store those 
addresses in any of the other books, I have to go through them instead.


So it would be a feature I like to be added, that SM could check if 
the address already is in any of my address books, before it add it to 
by me selected book. Or if it could open the "new card for ..." window 
and let me choose also at the "automated" adding?
