As far as the color of the links are concerned, it's iffy. If I click on a link from a Yahoo! search, then use the ''back'' button, the link changes to the defined color for visited links. However, if I click on a link from a website, then go back to that website, or use the back button and refresh the site, the link changes back to its original color. On the other hand, if I click on a link from my My Yahoo! page, then go back, refresh, or even restart my computer, the link remains colored as it should be. I believe this has to do with the way Firefox and Netscape handle browser history, but know of no 'fix.'
To answer your second question, yes, there is a way to disable that VERY annoying splash screen. Completely close Netscape, right-click on the Netscape shortcut, select properties, and select the shortcut tab. Then, in the target box, go to the end of the sctring and after the last set of quotation marks add a space followed by a dash and the word quiet. You can also copy and paste what I put in parenthasies. (''C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape Browser\netscape.exe'' -quiet) OK your way out, then launch Netscape from the shortcut again. Just remember this will only disable the splash screen when Netscape is launched from that shortcut. At least that's one less aggravation! ![]()
Hope this helps,

I just DL'd netscape 8.0 browser from their website, and have a couple questions. On a site such as collegehumor.com, where there are multiple links, when i return to the main page, the links aren't colored different to indicate whether i've been to them or not. I had this annoyance with Firefox as well (arrgh). Also, is there a way to disable the splash screen at startup? I'm running Windows XP Home, 80 GB Hdd, 1 GB PC 3200 Ram, P4 3.0 GHZ. Thanks
