I have an ETR open from yesterday and got this email right before your post: "Hello Alan, There is still an issue with the servers this morning, it has captured a wide range of attention and much focus is being placed on this issue.

I was able to get in a few times this morning. They have backed out the ETR change because of customer complaints.

Re: IBMLINK unavailable
Some of us at SHARE have maintained a dialog with IBMLink architects for a while now. As part of that dialog, we learned something this week about the sudden appearance of the Box from H*ll. It was a sincere if off-target attempt to satisfy a requirement from some customers to provide an 'easy' way to zero in on the most recently updated text in an ongoing ETR. For better or worse, the box was actually supposed to be a time saver, minimizing the time it takes to locate the spot where a person would logically want to start reading upon opening an ETR. You certainly do not want to begin at the beginning every time unless you have that weird memory problem a la Memento (2000 film). They backed out the unpopular change in response to the negative vote from users. If you can suggest a solution that uses only plain text (an assumed requirement never stated as far as I know) that would not drive a lot of folks crazy, I'm pretty sure IBM would love to hear it. And please, as much as I argue for top-posting in email threads, do not even think about displaying ETR updates in reverse order. That would be the very definition of 'crazy'. . .

web ibmlink actually seems to be working right now,
and yes, I received this below in reponse to my feedback on the etr
change,
which makes me wonder exactly who was clamoring for that to begin with.
--> Due to the negative user and customer response, the scrollable
window
feature, a part of Release 6.2 in ETR, has been backed out.

Re: IBMLINK unavailable
Let me preface this by stating that I have not done any HTML lately, or Java ever. I would like to think that is a way to get the scrollable area to be positioned at the bottom upon initial display of a web page. So with the PMR/ETR display that we have now (after the back-out of the postage stamp 3270-1 type display), why not position the displayable area, upon entry to the ETR, to the bottom? The stated goal was missed, because the postage stamp display (at least for me) did not display the latest update, but required me to drag the scroll-bar down to the bottom. The idea of putting the info in the notification mail (that is, the current update from IBM) was good. I liked it, I didn't have a problem with it, other than I would like them to keep the URL info in it (I was getting them w/o that).

You mean, like, a command entry box in which the user could type "BOTTOM", "TOP", "DOWN 42", etc.? The only plain text browser I used to use with IBMLink was Lynx. Alas, IBMLink 2K made incompatible changes and I had to switch to Firefox. How about an index sidebar frame, click to go to a selected ply? Nah, overkill.
