1. Some members were not receiving emails sent from XJbikes.com. For example: "Forgot your password?" function to reset your password would not send email to some members. I believe this has been resolved now. Please use "Contact Us" form (see page footer link) if you still have email issues. SnoSheriff

    Well, with MoZilla that is. IE seems to not be working well today.

    There is no way to get a virus from email on Yahoo unless you open and run an attachment. Since the "ad" is on two different computers there is no problem.

    And the virus removes your ability to use punctuation and compose proper sentences.

    Schooter, get Mozilla Firefox. Many folks prefer it to IE. There is also an email package called Bluebottle that insures you NEVER get unsolicited email. The way it works is this: if anyone NOT explicitly allowed by you sends you an email they are challenged with an email back that says, in effect, that they have sent mail to a secure mailbox. In order for the email to go through they have to physically acknowledge that they indeed want to send the email. Since all of the unwanted solicitations are mailed by computers to the masses there is no one on the other end to acknowledge the secure mailbox challenge and the mail is ALWAYS dumped into a non-delivered bucket. My poor whatchamacallit is still the same size because I never get the emails. You would need to determine if this is a good or a bad thing.


    Bluebottle email used to be free but now costs $9.95 / year. It is well worth it. Especially if you don't want your kids to get the crap email. Oh, it also has POP 3 support.

    +1 on the Firefox. I find it to be a lot faster than IE
