I'm seeing something now that I don't recall happening before.

I go to the forum and select 'Messages since my last visit".

I read one and then click on my back button to go back to the list of messages.

I get an error that it is too soon to do another search.

I have received the same error message and I have no idea why it is happening. I have not changed any of the parameters concerning frequency of searches, but I may have to if this continues. I can shorten it, but I don't want to unless it's absolutely necessary. The feature is apparently designed to thwart bots, but since we don't have problems with bots anymore I guess maybe I shouldn't be as concerned.

I'll be interested to see if anyone else is having this problem.

I use the Mozilla web browser. It has a feature called "tabs" which is like having multiple browser windows. Thunderbird (from the same organization) has the same feature. Once you try it, you will not go back to Internet Explorer.

Using this feature, I can display a list of new topics, then open them one at a time without losing the list.

You can do something similar in Internet Explorer: Right-click a link to a topic, then choose Open in New Window. The topic will open in a new window and the list of topics will remain unchanged.

I tried the 'tab' feature when I first installed IE7.

It was just too much of a change from what I was used to. And trying to set up groups of tabs to open simultaneously was too much for this feeble mind. I went back to using separate windows.

Yes, I could open each new message in a new window without losing the original list.

I was just trying to point out that something has happened today causing the forum to operate a little differently than normal.

I have had that for about a week now. Just thought it was me

Thats basically where Microsoft got their ideas for their IE7
