I'm running Netscape 6.2.2 at 1024X768. It looks fine for the most part. The small icons at the top of the page next to the 'Home', 'Forum', 'Resources' don't show up. Instead I get black rectangles before 'Home' and after 'The Team'. I haven't noticed much else. The emoticons show up fine in the messages as do the avatars to the side. I've only been running Netscape 6.2.2 for a few days though. If I notice anything else I'll let you know.

Greetings Jim!
Thanks for letting me know - it is nice to know we are working with the latest Netscape for the most part. The black rectangles you mention will be due to Javascript problems with Netscape - they are actually drop down menu's across the top - hopefully future versions Of Netscape will sort their javascript out.
With best regards,
Adrian.

Actually.. on PC or on Mac, in I.E. 4, 5, and 6, and Netscape 6.2.2, viewing this forum is incredibly painful. Every 20 seconds the screen freezes, and I have to wait. It seems to me that there are some serious issues with either javascript or video streaming on the site.
May I respectfully in spite of my newbieness suggest you update to PhpBoard 2? I run that code on my own forum, and have yet to receive notice that a browser or screen could not handle it....!

Greetings Birgitte!
Thank you for your comments which are always appreciated![]("http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif")
I am sure the problems you experiencing are not general - I have not noticed any such problems, and we also have over 500 members using various browsers - IE6 being by far the most popular, and as you will see from the bugs forum very few problems are reported here - or by email for that matter.
I would seem that Netscape 6 has various issues with Javascript incompatibility (and other things), but I have to take the view that as IE 6 is completely free to download, that is what the forums are designed for.
As for the forums platform - as you will have noticed, we provide much more than a basic BBS - and most importantly it is all SQL Server based which is extremely important beyond all other considerations. PHP is one of these open source things I believe, and like all open source products (e.g. Linux)has no single source of accountability if there are bugs and so on. I would never contemplate using Perl and/or CGI for anything on my servers. We also have to use ASP to talk to SQL both for existing and future features.
I am not sure why your PC is behaving like it is, but it might be worth trying another PC and Web browser if you have access to one for comparison.
Please feel free to report back with your comments and observations.
With best regards,
Adrian.

I just upgraded my Netscape Communicator from 4.76 to 4.79 (the newest version of Communicator - I dislike the feel of Navigator and I hate everything about MSIE), and while I can technically log onto the forums now, I still really can't participate in the discussion here since whatever changes were implemented here a month or two ago (I had no problems at all before that).
The problem is that after each page loads, the whole browser freezes for about 20 seconds (down from about 2-3 minutes with version 4.76).
Anyway, I don't know what was done to the forums (they worked fine before), but they're not friendly to Netscape Communicator (which should be as advanced in the HTML department as Netscape Navigator or MSIE, it just doesn't follow some MS-specific instructions).
PS - The drop-down menus work fine for me.
