Gail, You might also want to add www.legacyfamilytree.net. Not sure which site serves up the update.

Jack, you really gave some great, detailed information. I have made an adjustment to my URL filter to allow www.legacyfamilytree.com, but I agree that it can only be tested when the update becomes available. Also, because I don't often close out of Legacy, I am more likely to see the update notice mentioned on the LUG first, rather than on re-entry. I do have access to all the Legacy News messages. Therefore, I'm not quite sure why the update box doesn't work the same way, except that it involves an executable file. However, even though the notification doesn't work, I can still use that update box to get the new file. Hmmm...I guess I still have a lot to learn about computers!
