If this was the old west, I'd say get a rope and string up the mascot...thanks god it wasn't only me! I had pm's and emails from certain fellow members who professed the same problems of logging in too! Realizer is right! The original Netscape never should've been tinkered or messed with. "If the toy ain't broke, don't fix it." The groups that are used here seems too "cliqueish" for my taste, and members here DO have the right to know who's out there posing and negging their comments, and don't take me to the recent addition of public messages in your profile...cause you don't wanna hear it from me how I feel about that too!

With all the serious problems going on it seemed pedantic and selfish to be making a fuss about a minor personal problem bit what's that about?!
As for that "mascot"... ..... .....

I still have a groan moment every time I open up - when it opens :) -

Bloody mascot.

Let me guess; Propeller's coder discovered that the model for the mascot had been doing porn in the 70s and was so disgusted he/she brought the site down for awhile to try to cleanse Propeller of Hitler Jr. -

But most of all Tom, we all really appreciate being let in on what's going on. It makes us feel visible. -

A brainectomy performed on that mascot would be considered "minor" surgery.

...when first I saw the title my semi-conscious mind superimposed an 'R' so it read "Propeller.com outRages" and I thought 'He's just now noticing???Gads, he must be REALLY busy..."
