    Lately, when I try to reply to a thread, it goes through a bunch of changes in the navigation bar? A couple are 3w's.company7.com,3w's136bxp.com, is that something my puter is doing or normal? I never noticed it doing so, until just last week or soo_O


    (Does the lowly no-stripe posters' names have to be the color of mold?!?!? Just asking:oops:)

    "a thread" is the key phrase regarding this issue. The "Pre-Halloween antics" thread has a number of offsite images embedded in it, and so when you display the page(s) containing those images in that thread, or reply to it (and the reply post range is big enough to access the specific posts in that thread), then yes, your browser will access the webservers where those images come from.

    This post has a half-a-meg image linked from company7.com, so you can't help but see that displayed in your navigation bar as it loads the image. Many ten-forward threads have such images linked in them, so you will see such things as you participate in there.

    Unless, of course (and probably not a bad idea with dialup, especially in forums with lots of big images), you go into your CP here and de-activate the display-images thingie. :cool:
