Worked fine for me?

You know about the semi-colon bug, right? Because the preview uses JavaScript, any semi-colons in your post will disrupt your post. Even then, though, it will still "come up," it'll just eat part of your message.

Anyone else notice any problems?

check

test

one

two

three (feedback)

worked for me... but everytime I try to access the main site from the backpages I get a white sheet

I can hit it if I go in from the address bar of my CS browser -- but not MSIE6

Next week I'm going broadband

The main site as in netpoets.com? What are backpages? CS?

This white sheet problem has been reported off and on for nearly two years, starting with Balladeer. But I can't reproduce it on my end. Without that, or a really detailed description of it, I haven't been able to do much.

backpages are here -- anything at piptalk -- if I click the link to the main site (netpoets) -- white

CS -is compuserve -- which is really just a front end to MSIE -- but it has better rapport with the network

I am going to try the preview button again on this response...

and all it did was say done  with this same message  and no other box coming up...so I just aded the result on and then pressed submit...and am pressing preview once more

and same result  it has the blue box down below filling  and  then says done and notrhing has changed...I just have the same box I am typing in. It has been that way for a week or two for me. Everything else works fine for me ( I just wantto see if it aligns my poems if I do them centered etc..before I submit)

It is no big deal because I can always edit but it was so convenient. I have aol 8.0 as my server and I know html well enough to make any changes I need in my posts, but I can't figure out the problem.
I have  restarted my computer and will do it now just to make sure it isn't some strange  quirk...

and it still won't preview amd says it is done.

I do want to add here ... that even though I experience no problem with it ... MushyMarsha told me that she can no longer pull up a PREVIEW ... interestingly she's also AOL challenged.

Ah. Doesn't the new AOL browser block pop-ups? (Except, of course, for those pop-up ads that AOL sends.)

And the Preview window is a pop-up?

yes Marge at the bottom of the screen  while on pip there is a small box that you click  below ... it asks if you are allowing popups from this site..I had to click on "allowing"  and not "blocking"..I guess you can do it for each site you are on.

Hope it helps her too.
hugss and thanks

darn I keep trying to get out of this name and back into my own...this is not my day at all!!!

Okay tried it and it now works, so thank you kindly Margie girl. I'm so glad that you asked Little Mo, because I was wondering why I couldn't get it, I would have asked myself but I didn't think it would be such a simple solution. Anyway darling girl thank you for asking, and Margie thank you so very much for sending me the link. Now if I do a preview I can see it.
Love and warm stuff
as always
