Hello-

I just installed v7 on my Mac. I noted these problems (as opposed to
v4.6 I have been using)

no "Load Images" option (I browse w/ images turned off as my 56k modem
often only connects at 31k)
no Forward <> Back keystroke
command + C does not work, must use pull down edit menu
can not enter URL in navigation bar

Are these features removed in v7 of is my copy 'buggy'?

Thanks in advance-

Check out the Netscape v7 options here ...

Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Images

(*) Do not load any images
( ) Accept images that ...
( ) Accept all images

That would be how one controls what gets loaded by default. I think the
OP was requesting a way to load images that didn't make it through the
above filtering process on a page that the browser had already loaded.
And I don't have a solution, not being a Netscape user; just trying to
help keep the topic alive long enough to generate the answer I think the
OP wants.

I see what you mean. Maybe I have misinterpreted the OP's request.
In my Netscape 4.8 that command is called "Show Images".

I just checked with Mozilla 1.4. You're right. There doesn't appear
to be a way to force-load an image or a page of images if you disable
them. Quite annoying, IMO.

Personally, I'd like to see what Mosaic did years ago. When images
are turned off, you see image-placeholder icons. Clicking on the icon
loads the image. If the image is a link, you get a different image
placeholder icon that has an arrow in the upper section - clicking
the arrow part follows the link, while clicking the image part loads
the image.

But I haven't seen anybody other than Mosaic do this and Mosaic is
too old to be useful these days.

Cmd-left and Cmd-right work for me.

This all works for me in Mozilla 1.4. Make sure you have the latest
Netscape 7 (I think this is 7.1). If that fails, maybe you want to
download Mozilla 1.4 (http://www.mozilla.org/) and use that instead.
