I just downloaded and installed Netscape 6. So far, I’m marginally o.k. with it. I don’t notice any extra speed one way or the other. However, the one thing I can’t seem to fix is that **there is no HOME button** in the bar that says back, forward, reload and stop. Is there anyway to get a button there that says “home”? ---

I don’t have a button at the top with forward, back, reload, but below the buttons there are a set of icons in the toolbar, one of which is “home” (second from the left). If you don’t have it, go to Edit-\>Preferences and at the bottom right you can select the buttons to appear in the toolbar. Now if I can just figure out why it tell me I have three new messages in my inbox when THERE’S NOTHING IN THERE!!! :mad: ---

You don’t have to use their browser. It’s kind of a screen hog. My mother has AOL and just brings up Internet Explorer and ignores all the AOL stuff. ---

I like IE but I have downloaded N6 TWICE for my roommate BOTH times email functions have been f’d up. Finally went back to 4.7 with no problems. Each time was a VERY clean install. ---

I hate the new Netscape. It’s actually driven me to use (ick) MSIE just because of the more traditional interface. ---

Maybe you are hiding your Icon bar with those icons on it? On the left side is a little arrow that makes it come down. IM petty sure its part of Net 6.0 too although I don’t remember when I used it. ---

Try using alt+H (or possibly alt+HOME) instead. Go to **View -\> Toolbars -\> Customize** and you can add & remove the buttons you want. ---

I use both Netscape & IE. Sometimes both at the same time, there is no law saying you can’t do that.
