Hi Ben,It's the ActiveX download, then. I turn on cookies and shut down WebWasher, you have to have cookies for a DCForum post. There's just a long delay between the time the initial login screen shows up and the time the boxes show up for User Name and Password. At that point I get the "An ActiveX control is not marked as safe..." message. After I log in and hit reply, the message I'm replying to shows up, then the long delay, then the reply box and another ActiveX message pops. It's probably sending me the ActiveX control twice and since this dialup seldom manages much over about 15K baud in actual transfer rate, it takes a long time to get a post up.
It's not that I don't trust FlightAdventures, or even have a "trusted forums" thing. I just won't enable ActiveX or Java at all. Call me old-fashioned, but I cringe at the thought of anyone running anything on my PC that I'm not aware of.
Ah, well. You guys have all been at this so long you hardly have any trouble with your controllers anymore anyway. 8).
Thanks!
