Well, I'm certainly not far enough along to start playing with betas, so I guess I'll stick with 2.00.6. It doesn't seem to have any more problems than the CE. :) MRB>> ... can any version of TB! tell the reason "why," as in, for MRB>> instance, quoting the server's response?

Well, that's logical. And of course I couldn't expect TB! to know why, if the problem is on the other end. Is there a way, technically, for it to be able to tell me that the problem is TB!'s, if it is? In future versions, that is? MRB>> In most instances, the Internet browsers are still available to me.

M> If it is the server being down or not responding, none of that helps. As I found. :) But back when I was running v. 161, the problem was often in TB! itself, although all it would say was "could not connect to server." But in that version it was an almost daily occurence--the program would seem to time itself out after being up awhile and a re-launch or a re-boot would seem to fix it. Anyway, re-launching and re-booting gave me something to do, like the prospective father whom a country doctor has told to go down to the kitchen and boil some water. :) M> Hmmmmm! That coffee! :) Yes! Time for another cup. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 2.00.6 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1
