Problem #1)
When trying to start a game in POGO.com called "Shape Shifter"
(http://play.pogo.com/game/deluxe/shapeshifter.jsp?game=shapeshifter&site=pogo&sls=3&tins=1095218205917&lkey=QUaxKgERu2sr7dl_Cmb9PAAAKDw.&install=true&msvm=false)
the page doesn't load - status bar says "Applet gamehouse.SuperApplet2 Started"
but page never loads. I tried Firefox on another PC with the same results, or
lack of. I waited for several minutes for the page to load with no luck.
Microsoft IE6 loads the page just fine.
Problem #2) 
When visiting (https://connect.skyfi.com/servlet/SignOn?CustType=Retail&NLS=EN)
all the info seems to be there, but it acts like there is a "Wrap text" problem
because borders are much larger than the text they surround, and shaded boxes do
not show up as shaded. Again, IE6 does not experience this problem.  I can not
demonstrate this problem without giving you a user name and password to a Sky
Bank account, so you may not be able to address problem #2.
