OK, I understand now. Yeah the new beta has some quirks I've noticed
too. It was really easy to see any topic I posted in, now it doesnt
work right. Some of the new features are cool, but wasn't aware of
this problem. Hope they get it right.

It IS beta afterall though. :) I tried it ONCE and now whenever I go
to just groups.google.com it uses the beta anyway. Cookies make no
difference. Oh well.

Thanks,

Tom
