The topics / sidebar " subscription " feature does NOT work on WebTV.

I haven't found it yet on Netscape 4.5 either. Must be rough not being able to change background color on WebTV. FR was too difficult to use until I found out about that. I suspect changes are afoot. Pages are loading much faster now than at first and the minor modifications I did can't account for it all. Suspect you will find the going easier shortly.

Poor, lowly " webbies " , and there are more of us here, than most might suspect, are hammpered by many things. We have almost NO control over a vast catagory of things, that computer users zip right through / change / take for granted. For instance, we can't change colors of the background, can't view more than one screen ( we have NO " windows " ) at a time, can't view anything in Java, and a massive amount of graphics and text ( such as the new side bars and flag, etc. ) will slow everything down to such an extent, that can and often does, completely shut off the WebTV unit . That's just for starters.

If there has been some modifications, it is almost imperceptable to me.

If anyone , which is highly doubtful, can give instructions / aid to " webbies " , I know ( speaking on my and their behalf ) that it will be greatly appreciated. We are the redheaded orphans , around here. Instructions are given for compter users. Someties they work for us; most of the time, they don't . The added bells and whistles NEVER work for us; but against us. Usually, I don't care ; NOW I DO ! This isn't a case of " getting used to something new / changed ". IT'S A CASE OF BEING LOCKED OUT OF USE !
