    Re: Old question - need summary

    My recollection is that I used to be able to click on links on the
    website and they worked but that stopped some time ago. I went back to
    try to determine when the problem began. As examples, the two old
    messages in the links below each contain links that show up properly
    when I view them in my browser, both with Firefox and with Internet
    Explorer on the FER3 website. This shows that the problem is not with my
    browsers or with my computer.
