Wiz, it's not going to get fixed. Brad has made a decision and that's that. All one to think about is that wba downloads worked well from the guic site but did not from the wb site. It's a choice by the site manager and not the browser but it is more convenient to blame the browser. This kind of thing has happened before (IE7) and it probably won't be the last. one of the more recent "funnies"; there was a post regarding the best phone I ever owned. During that time I

I had to download one of my blinds today and it downloaded as a zip, not wba, file. Is anything being done to correct this or are we just suppose to suck eggs and move on. It does seem rhetorical, doesn't it.
