(after a full backup of the profile and program folders) Sounds like a good idea (backup), but should not have been necessary unless you plan to go back to an earlier version [not recommended] The installer ran in a flash, and now I'm supposedly at SM 2.3.1 The installer only updates your install itself, not the profile. It will also update the normal links to SeaMonkey from your desktop/start menu if you select those choices. But I'm curious and just a bit apprehensive. Did that upgrade installation carry out all those profile conversions that were discussed and argued about here, such as the bookmarks database conversion et.c. ? The first run of SeaMonkey 2.3.1 will do the necessary profile upgrades automatically, it should be mostly unnoticeable by you. But if you have a lot of bookmarks it may take a while on first launch. Subsequent launches should appear much faster. I need reassurance :-) I hope that helped. -- ~Justin Wood (Callek) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
