Or is this just yet another stupid >netscape glitch? I think sometimes this can be caused when people post something after you see the index screen but before you get to the end of the thread. Are the times on the 'new' posts very close to the current time? If so, this is likely what is happening. Just like if you refresh the index screen every few minutes, new posts will show up. If this isn't what's going on, then I have no idea. :) Jeremiah
