Thanks Tedzo!! You're a pal. manly hugz I say you and I run dow, get some ice cream and then we knock on Misha's door until he brings out some candy sprinkles! Woooooo ... sounds like a plan. I really don't know why it's slow for some and not for others. I have a cable modem with 3.5mbps download speed. But I just sit there and watch the buttons load slowly, one by one while I wait for the rest of the images in the message/gallery to load. -=>Donald
