GoatBoy et alia,

I posted a while back about how AR15.com used to crash but then had been working great for a little while, and lately started crashing Netscape frequently again.  You suggested turning off dynamic menus in my user profile.  I did that, but the site continues to crash the browser at an alarming rate.

I am unable to turn off JavaScript to see if that's why, because the forum pages don't display any text if I turn off JavaScript.

Hopefully this will get posted -- I tried to post a response to the earlier thread telling you that the problem didn't go away after turning off menus, but the browser died just a few seconds before I was ready to post it.

I realize there are a lot of whizzo neato cool things that one can do with scripting.  I understand that this is Netscape's fault for writing buggy code.  But I'd really appreciate it if there were a way to view the forums without having to enable Java or JavaScript or VBScript -- their appearance is such that straight HTML should be more than sufficient to create the pages anyway, and I don't understand what the heavy use of scripting is buying you.  (If it's a question of font size, a user-profile font-size parameter would take care of that in a second.)

FWIW, I have noticed that the browser seems to blow up very quickly if I log in (or even accept the ASPSESSIONID cookie) from the main page.  However, cookies or logging in don't seem to be required for it to crash.

Thanks,

Achmed
