D'oh! Somehow I had checked that in the View menu, and all new boxes were inheriting that setting. Thanks for solving the mystery!

For no apparent reason, now when I create a new mailbox, the first column header contains a mystery icon consisting of two arrows, one pointing northwest and the other pointing southeast. When I right-click on the headers, there is no corresponding item in the pop-up menu (e.g...

Okay, I found the culprit. When I reinstalled everything on the new HD, I updated TiVo Desktop. Turns out the current version has a bug: if it's switched "on" in its System Preferences control panel, it won't allow the Mac to restart or shut down. I've reported it to TiVo, but who knows...

Greetings, When I select Restart or Shut Down from the Apple menu, all of my apps close, but then it just sits there showing the desktop pattern. The cursor remains live. Nothing else happens. I have to hit ctrl-opt-power to force a power down. This happens regardless of which account I'm...

Greetings, Well, now that Leopard is here, I figured I'd better upgrade to Tiger, so I'd still be only one OS behind. I'm having a problem with the Find feature in Address Book. As soon as I start typing letters into the field, Address book starts searching too fast. What appears to be...

...and this would count as the other. ;)

I suppose this would count as one of them...

Thanks Cheryl. Guess I haven't been here in awhile. DM

Hi Satcomer, Thanks for the reply. Here's what my CP has in the left column: Edit Email & Password Edit Profile Edit Options Edit Avatar Edit Profile Picture "Edit Signature" has mysteriously vanished. :\ DM

Ack! How do I delete a message from this board...

Greetings, I must be losing my mind. I keep looking through everything in the User CP, and I cannot find where to edit my signature. I could swear that used to be where it was. Help! DM
