Maybe it's just zooming out for you by default. I have read other messages from people about indexing going down at times. I hope they're getting ready for the onslaught next week, but it might be going down _because_ people are getting ready for it and their servers won't be prepared. Just like the 1930 census, this one might be best accessed in the middle of the night at the beginning. I'm glad I helped convince you to index! :-) Annie,

Your blog posts and tweets inspired me to sign up as an indexing volunteer but it sure is a frustrating process. I managed to download the indexing software but have made no more progress. Since I've never indexed before I really need the tutorials but can't get them to work... tried different browsers and had the site freeze and/or crash. The single sample page I somehow pulled up was so small I couldn't read a thing. I'll keep trying - maybe it will get better once the opening day hoopla is past? Annie in Austin Hello, Banai,
