Ken, I think that you are absolutely correct, and I am going to do this task, when I don't know, but on my agenda. The timeout doesn't really affect me, it is just annoying, I can still post OK, just a minor irritance that I have learned to live with (oh brother, things we put with in life, procrastination is a big issue with me, I should have gone to the library months ago, but then......) I haven't tried to post any pictures yet with the new laptop, I hope that I don't get the problems with that I had too. The gateway timeout and posting picture issues both happened simultaneously. If it is the ISP I have no idea why it suddenly messed up, because prior to that I had zero issues with timeout and posting pics. We'll see. I am still getting used to the new laptop and haven't got my folders with pictures in it handy yet to download to the forum. Have a wonderful day, beautiful life and best of health. Cindi
