Rick,
<br>
<br>I am running into a problem, and I imagine others are too,
<br>with your secure server that hosts your email system. you must
<br>have some settings set that are not common and is preventing my
<br>provider from connecting to the email utilities. Also, since the
<br>public forum (old forum) pulls up the free e-mail info, it also
<br>locks up and prevents me from getting to the old forum. I have run
<br>into this in the past with other providers that were not set up
<br>to access secured servers correctly, but my current provider (ev1.net) gets
<br>through to all other secured servers except yours. I was able to
<br>verify this by using a free provider (NetZero) to get through to the
<br>email to change my passwords and also was able to get through to
<br>the old forum. Question is, are the settings on your secured server
<br>excessively tight, using settings that most providers do not
<br>account for. If so, can they be scaled back somewhat, or can you
<br>at least tell me what is set that is not normally used in order
<br>to forward this information to my provider so that they can make
<br>the necessary adjustments to get through.
<br>Thanks
<br>

Rick,
<br>
<br>I did some more looking at this, and although this looked
<br>very much like a secure server problem I have seen in the past, I have now located the heart of the problem. In netscape 4.77 that I am running, under "Edit, Preferences,
<br>Advanced" there is a setting for "Enable JavaScript". This is the item that is causing problems. When I turn it off, I
<br>can get through to the email functions and the old forum. The new forum has a very different look as a result, but I can get through now. Now let me think, I thought, there were
<br>proprietary issues with JavaScript that Microsoft was not allowed to copy and may have implemented their own standard that might not be compatible with the rest of the world. Your techs might have to look at their JavaScript code for
<br>your web site and see if they comply with standards.
<br>
<br>Anyone out there having these problems, turn off you JavaScript enable (Not the Java enable) in Netscape
<br>and that should clear up your problems. I will post this
<br>on the forum too.
