Actually that particular problem with the "splash screen" has been a issue twice now since hmm October I think. I was just mentioning it as some may not realize how easy of it a fix it can be. I see your suggestion and I don't see a problem in adding that as a option. However users will still need to set that option (unless it could be made that by default). Also I just tried logging into the MSNBC website then going to the mail from there. While it did work I would still get the same splash screen I found before that I need to check the "don't see this again" check box. I just don't see it helping, if I am wrong and the webmail author thinks so by all means use the best method. He knows far better than I. :) But something to consider if it does indeed work as described (and it was just a fluke why it didn't work for me) I have this feeling it is just something hotmail missed and will fix that in time.
I do have one suggestion though, why not add to the "neagative vibes" error message a comment about trying to log into your webmail account normally and see if there is a splash screen you can click a "do not see this again" check box and try webmail again? I get the feeling that hotmail is going to be doing this splash screen more often. On 12/24/2008 8:02 AM, BluesRenegade wrote: > Chris got it.
