The Web Interface has been flakey and full of problems since Dec 23 last year. Read
the suggestions from Alan and others below and set up a newsreader -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. "AliceZ" wrote in message ... As far back as I can remember, I have always been able to enter these Community Boards, with no problems. Why, now, am I having so much trouble signing-in? Could it because I installed IE7? Is there any other "newsreaders" besides the MS ones? A very simple one to use, etc.? Thank you. ======= "Leonard Grey" wrote: This is a newsgroup, not a forum.

I have discovered why Ctrl+F3 does not work here. You need to have the Preview option enabled. I disabled this option years ago for security reasons.

I managed to reproduce that; but with the Preview Pane disabled, you can still get the "Message Source" window with a Ctrl-F3 if you open a message into its own window. Leastways, *I* did...
