Do-It-Yourself – At long last, the Netscape team is proud to release a Beta of the next generation My.Netscape, at: http://my.netscape.com. This site will be live tomorrow (Tuesday 3/6). My.Netscape will retain its identity as a personalized homepage, with a minimum of ad clutter. The initial release will in fact have no ads at all! Our programming staff has worked hard to create a framework that allows for scalability and UI elegance.
JamesMarcus: We've already gotten a huge influx of feedback on the new version of My.Netscape, and put up a My.Netscape FAQ that should clarify the most common confusions.

Questions related to the Netscape browser should be asked on the community page for the browser. The folks there have a lot more experience and an better help you with specific issues.
Aieee!! The strobe flashes made me feel like I was having an acid flashback from the 60's...or that I was being "programmed" by those pesky Greys. Thanx for sharing your experience, RH; now I know I'm not alone.
Gotta tell ya...I was getting so disgusted with the browser freezing up during this downtime, I downloaded Firefox. Hey whaddya want...I'm a gadget kinda guy! LOL
Just for clarity, this means it will be similar to the old Nestcape before it became a news blogging site? I really liked the old Nestcape and preferred it to Explorer. I still get my e-mail through this browser because it works better than explorer. When Netscape switched to the new format, I was horrified. Judging by all the negative commentary, I could see I was not alone. I think it was messed up when AOL entered the picture. I have never heard anyone have anything good to say about AOL.
I liked the old Netscape too. The good thing added was the news postings and comments, but that should not be the Home page, but a page to choose. I HATE having to select which mail service to send e-mails by. If I forget to select @netscape.net it sends it default as AIM mail and people don't recognize the address and delete it. I want to use ONLY netscape.net for sending and receiving e-mail.
I dumped AOL long ago, didn't like it or its price.
Amen to all of your comments, guys! I LOVED the old Netscape with the cool anchor logo. And what in heaven's name is going on with the email...why is AOL getting into the picture?
I was a longtime Netscaper, 'cause it was refreshing to take a break from Internet Explorer. Now I'm getting the same feeling about Netscape. They "fixed" something that was working fine, and that seems to be a common problem in western civilization: we just can't let a good thing be!
I, like a number of other responders, am a long time Netscape user. I am glad the MyNetscape is back but am sorry to see that it didn't stay a little closer to the old version. I preferred the lay out a little better but will give this new one a chance. My initial response is that I would like it better if the modules had a little more configuration control besides color. I also ran across a small bug in the weather module regarding zip code references which I have already submitted feedback on.
Still gotta say welcome back to MyNetscape and the crew behind it.
Too little too late, i switched to Safari and use the Apple home page. The old 7.2 browser does not work well with Mac OS 10 hence the reason why the My Home page is all messed up
This isn't about the Netscape browser. It's about the My Netscape webpage found here: http://my.netscape.com/
Finally having a homepage back is nice, however, I would like to add ZDNET.com as one of my options as it was an original choice under the old "My Netscape."
Use the feedback form to send your suggestion.
You can also create it yourself quite easily.
If you add the RSS module and click Configure on it, simply type in http://www.zdnet.com/ in the Feed URL box, and it will instantly create a ZDNet module for you
Hmmm...Cool web 2.0 layout. But it's not a radically new idea. Other portals have done this for a few months now. Still, much appreciated. Wish I could have more customized content here. More tools.
Wish that for users of high-rez screens, you'd offer the option of a fourth column. Oh well, can't have everything.
Also, it's easy to understand not wanting to have other custom content when you want to offer your own services, but it'd be great to have some other custom content, like my Google calendar, and maybe del.icio.us access, and more interactivity within each "window" without having to go to the site....
All in all, though, good job. Must have been a tough one to complete. Congrats. It looks good.
