SeaMonkey doesn't ask for a security password on install. Your Windows version may be asking for that password so it will allow the installation to your system.

Since tabbed browsing was introduced as an inherent feature in SeaMonkey (not via an extension), I have not seen any change in how tabs are closed. There is an X at the far right of the tab bar that, when selected, closes the current tab. By current, I mean the tab whose content is in the view port (window). I much prefer this over having an X on each tab, as Thunderbird has. With my old eyes and hands, an X on each tab means I might close a tab when I really wanted to select and view the tab to its right. I have no red X. I do have a white X in a red button, but that stops the currently loading page from rendering. Sure you do, at the top right corner of every Windows 7 application, including SeaMonkey. (Well, actually, it's a white X on a red tile, but let's not be too picky). No, that is a black X on a gray button. That is for closing the window. Immediately to its left is the button to change the window between full-screen and normal. Immediately to the left of that is the button that minimizes the window to the taskbar. Each of these is a black symbol on a gray button. Of course, I have tweaked Windows 7 to make it look somewhat like Windows XP. I think the default appearance of Windows 7 is hideous. But none of that is a SeaMonkey issue. My win xp has a red square button with a white x in it at the very top right and in the old days with sea monkey I could click on it and the page I was looking at only would disappear, now it has a stupid extra bar taking up more of my viewable area full of tab rubbish that is annoying to me, I am trying to get used to using the x in that bar but keep inadvertently hitting what I have got used to.

Its one thing you run a Business and have the software and hardware setup to leave everything on 24/7/365/. But an individual you don't stay up 24 hrs the best thing to do is turn your computer off when you not using for more than an hour. And when you go to bed. The only exception, if your backing up a hard drive or some such activity or a very large piece of software that takes 8-10 hours to do. When a Computer is shut down and restarted it does a bunch of house keeping and updates Time and date information. The the longer it stays on more likely Memory corruption That would be cleared up if turned on. Every time a computer is turned on, additional strain is placed on the electronic components, which in turn shortens their life and leads to premature component failure. Leaving a computer (or any other electronic device) places the least strain on the components, reduces risk of premature failure, and significantly extends the probable life of the device. I have never yet had a computer fail in service, but have had at least six fail on being turned back on after a period of being turned off.

After I unblocked the cookies, then I did indeed gain automatic entry to that site. From my perspective, there must be cookies sitting on my hard drive that do not appear in my cookie manager. Again, I used to have a dozen or so new cookies on my manager each day, and I selectively deleted some. Since updating to SM 2.23, my cookie manager has had zero cookies listed.

For a long time, I had a rotating cursor when it was located in either the Accounts pane or the Threads pane. No rotation at all if the cursor were located in the Message pane. That rotating cursor is a symptom of message synchronization. I only see it on my IMAP accounts. I only have a Pop e-mail account and I cannot swear that it happened there, but it sure did happen with my News accounts, but hasn't happen there for some time. I seem to recall that a work-around (manual change of a pref) was suggested at some time further back, but I did not apply that mod. However, as I've said, I now no longer have the problem. I very occasionally see the app-busy cursor in SM when reading newsgroups, but that seems to only be when synchronizing a large group of headers. Since this is now the only newsgroup I read, the traffic amounts to 1s and 2s. Not so busy. ;) Blinking Hour Glass ?? Must be on a windows machine.

How would you force it to ask for password.I have ticked always accept authentification Once when it was not working it asked for password on start,(which it had not for the previous week)when entered it worked again. You could try backing up your user profile, and then create a new profile. This can happen if the profile is corrupted.

If you're using BigPond (the correct name?) as your ISP provider, then you should contact them. No one in bigpond knows what a newsgroup server is,I have spent hours trying to find anyone to talk to about usenet at telstra or bigpond. I have sent them an email but judghing on past performance I dont expect much. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

compact folders message
Sea monkey has suddenly decided to ask me do I wish to compact folders all the time, it has just started this stunt how do I stop it? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

When you receive an e-mail in SM, it is written into your inbox. If you delete it, it is removed from your view, but if you were to open your inbox folder in a text editor, you would still be able to see the deleted e-mail in the file. If you receive another e-mail, it gets added to your inbox, so the file just keeps getting bigger and bigger until you compact your folders. So, IMHO, being reminded to compact your folders is a good thing. However, if you do really want to turn it off, have a look at Edit-Preferences-Network and Storage and de-select Disk Space. HTH If I let it compact what does it compact and where does it go an how do I get it back? It is while I am using newsgroups that it wants to compact ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
killfiles
Not holding much hope but is there any way to make a (global)? killfile to stop a single poster from appearing on all news groups without individually doing it on each group. There is one particular poster (GOD) who floods numerous groups with waffle one post after another so that you have to spend all your time dodging them. PS very few people reply to GOD's posts ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

You can create per-server rules by selecting a news server and opening Tools Message Filters (or selecting the server there).
