Earlier search problem on Tips page seemed to be intermittent--works fine right now. When Babble was down yesterday, Tips Search was unaffected.
Re: Babble message links. Every 5th-6th link comes up HTML--irregularly irregular pattern; very rarely, an MS "page not available." Refresh button always works, albeit, slowly at times--no shift or control key needed. I use IE 5.0. I have had no problems starting a new thread or posting to an existing one.
BTW, was unable to use your frames page hint for messages. Message frame disappeared when next Babble link was activated. IE quite likely to blame--every MS update removes a little more flexibility in the name of user friendliness. Guess we should just be glad that Alt+Tab still works.
Thanks for the quick fix! Withdrawal sxs alleviated.
