The little progress bar thingy in IE has disappeared.

Where can I go to get it back?

Don't bother... use mozilla instead

mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/)


More configurable, you can have multiple tabs in one window, not MS (which is good IMHO) and you can prevent pop ups and delete cache etc very easily.

Do it... you know you want to.

whether I want to or not seems rather immaterial.

It's asking for FTP authentication and a username/password.
who-what????

hmmm... they have changed the website.

looks like there might be a problem. Have a go a bit later.

It is worth the wait though - honest :D

You should look at Opera as well really. I like it better than Mozilla as it's much better in appearance imo.

i'm sure mozillais fine once you've configured it...

but all that tabbed stuff? sure it takes some getting used to... i like seperate windows as that is how my mind works...

perhas i should get used to it...

It's definitely worth persevering... You can download different themes to make it pretty - the standard icons are a bit drab.

The integrated email client is a bit weird too, if you are used to using Outlook, but again, it's worth giving it a go.

You don't have to use tabs, you can just open new windows (CTRL+N).

I like the fact that it stops popups, and you can stop it from resizing windows etc.

There are a few sites that don't appear to cater for Netscape based browsers (like MS Update) but then you can always just use IE if you have to.

:D :D :D

Mozilla is good, the only annoying thing with the tabs is when you shut the entire group window by accident :furious: :D
