But it IS the one that actually works without all that security BS!

Nothing wrong with utilizing new capabilities of new OS, but there is also nothing wrong with retaining all the older function that work on older OS except for the marketing 'issue'.

By the way the article I cited was in this month's Laptop magazine.
Laptop magazine is usually fairly critical of Microsoft, so for them to say nice things about IE9 is surprising to me.

Can someone click on the two links I posted in post 19 and tell me if you get new posts to show up. Still trying to troubleshoot.

I get new posts with the second link but not with the first link.

Do you get a new search ID number every time you click on it? (assuming you wait for some posting to occur). Since I lost the new post feature, I alway get that same number in the address bar.

Truth be told, I do not know how/where you observed that 'address'. I have only replied re clicking on your link.
