I believe Rendo has GREATLY underestimated the number of people having a problem (not everybody gets into the "I wanna rant also" mode on the forums). Anyway...I'm stuck with a 56k dial-me-later, and this has been driving me nuts (short drive in my case). After trying different browsers,codeing my firewall and ad stopper to block the menu,etc,etc,I found something that works like a charm. After I let the menu cache/load once,(if you browse the MP,do it there also, as it seems to have a separate cache),under Temp Internet settings in IE6,set to NEVER...not automatic like we've been told by the PTB (sarcastic remark omitted). Been running like this for four days now, and the menu caching problem is 101% fixed for me. IE6 WinXP Home Maxwell House French roast Happy SWAMP
