Well, I've not instaled SP2, nor do I use anything from AOL :) Also the 
last time this problem occured, I was definately using less internet 
conections than I've often used while playing, so I doubt this is the 
fault. Of course this could just be random intenet problems, but I just 
haven't really had those in this millenium, though they were rather 
frequent in the 90's. If this problem persists, I'll cry some more here.

This would be nice, though maybe quite hard to implement?

Agreed!

Oh, one thing I'd like to see in the sgf-editor is the possibility to 
reorder variations - often I go through some variations, for example 
before the move is played on TV. Maybe this is there already and I just 
can't find it being this dumb :)
