Sorry for the delay.
Hey, I hate changes, too. I know how you feel!
:o)
Unfortunately, since I am not a Netscape user, I can only visualize what =
you're explaining in these posts. I'm not understanding if you mean the =
'home page' you're set to is different, or if you mean the actual =
browser buttons and customizations. If the former, the home page, its =
possible that you cleared the cookie file which stores what and how the =
content is displayed. If that's the case, its just a matter of =
re-customizing. On the other hand, the program that deleted the cookies =
in the first place may have changed your settings to not allow the =
saving of cookies on your system, resulting in things like home pages =
not saving your settings.
I will tell you this, though. When I DID use Netscape, which was many =
years ago, when it was considered the dominant browser and not owned by =
AOL, there were a ton of settings for customizing the view and screen =
layout... including button placement. The current version you use is =
nothing like the older version, which had a 'Windows 95' look, if you =
know what I mean. They made it prettier, but probably at the expense of =
a few other things. Try going into each and every tab on top and toying =
with the options. Do it one-at-a-time, and hopefully this will help you =
track down the issues you want addresses. Unless it's the home page you =
are referring to, in which case see the beginning of my post.

Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Re: Hello...
Hi, Thanks for answering my email. It looks different because now,=20
instead of having pictures and then the story below the picture,=20
everything is listed on the left side of my computer. All the things=20
that were on the original page are there, but they are just listed and=20
if I want to see something, I can click on it and a new window opens=20
up. It's kind of hard to explain, but before, all the news and articles =
were on the homepage, I think it's all still there, and I can click on=20
each thing and open up another page, but now everything is just listed=20
on the left side of the computer. I guess I can live with it, but it's=20
just different than I was use to. At the very top of the page, it says,
Enable screen reader compatibility features for this page=20
<http://www.netscape.com/?acbl=3Dsrfy> if I click on that, it just=20
changes to disable screen reader. You might be able to tell by now, I =
don't like change...lol.....
Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I will give them a try....
