I don't think so.  On my old computer, I mostly cleared the Netscape cache by using Windows Explorer, finding the folder and deleting the files.  Occasionally, I would just click to "clear cache" in Netscape.

With the new WinXP, it puts things in all sorts of places and I'm not sure if I can find the right folder.  So, I did it in Netscape, but it never gives any indication.  I assume I cleared it!

Anyway, I still can't get into those.  I don't know why they would be different than all the other topics.

Makes sense - thank you!!

I've been regularly using Netscape 7.1 now.  However, the last few days when there have been "new" indicators on some of the Archive sections, when I try to get into them I get:

Unfortunately, the browser you're currently using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax; PROMO) has security issues with Dark Shadows Forums. Until further notice, in order to access the forum, you must use MSIE 4.0 or later, Netscape 6.0 or later, or Mozilla. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

I then am able to get in with IE.  Besides, it lists 7.1 as one of the "bad" ones, but then says to use 6.0 or later (7.1 is certainly later!).

Connie, let me make sure I'm understanding you.  When I saw the list of items flashing by at the bottom of the screen while it scanned (up to 5835 of them or something like that), I assumed those were things on the computer that it was checking.  From what you're saying, apparently those are the items in the program's database that it is looking for.  Since it doesn't list them in the box afterwards, apparently I DON'T  have them!!

It still just finds the same 4 programs.  I HAVE heard a lot of bad things about both Microsoft and the media players, so I'm not sure if I should ignore those.  So far, I've just let them alone (the 4 programs I listed in my post above).

It's when I click on the name of one of those to get a description of it that a new menu item appears at the bottom - Program Description (or something like that).  When I click that - it has the description of the highlighted program, but it's in a little box with a drop down arrow and all the other programs are listed there.

I take it that you're saying that it is just searching for those and that's where I could exclude some if I wanted to, but only the 4 it found are actually on my computer.

As for those notices, Netscape always tells you when you're entering or leaving an encrypted page, or when you're sending unencrypted  info over the Internet. If you don't want these notifications to come up all the time, all you have to do is uncheck the box on the notification that says something like "always notify me when..." 

I always put up with those.  I'm quite tempted to uncheck the box, but I'm always afraid there could be an instance some day when I WOULD want to be notified, so I just tolerate them all the rest of the times.

I see we now have our 400th member!

Welcome to all the newcomers who haven't been welcomed individually.  It's so nice to have all of you

For anyone who hasn't seen them (or those who just want to remind themselves what happened) 4 of the 18 1841PT episodes have been posted in Robservations, complete with over 150 captures each to download. 

Right - so, I assumed we would finish discussing this last little bit of the show before going on to whichever part is voted on.
