Hello,
I am not a computer expert, but her my experience:
a) While in the past I saw the suit symbols, I do not longer see them and see the coulored lines too.
b) I would guess that something has been changed about the font of the suit symbol.
c) My browser (Opera) gives me the option in which "mode" I want to see a web page. With a keystroke I change from "as the programmer wants me to see it" to "customer modus". So I get all the symbols again visible (in black) since a font is used that is on my computer.
Again, just a guess.
ciao stefan

CSS includes this in the suit definitions:
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif
However, it uses Unicode. IIRC, Win 98 supports it, but may be wrong.

When I reply to post, I am able to see Suit symbols in the heading Code Buttons, but unable to see suit symbols in regular posts.
Whats is CSS? Am I to download something?

Microsoft has a Unicode Arial font that I believe comes with more modern versions of Windows (and various other Microsoft products like Office).
If you do a web search for "Windows Arial Unicode" or similar you should be able to get more information. Hopefully you can download this font for free, but I think it is massive file (around 20MB).
I strongly suggest you consider getting either XP or Vista. I suspect you will find yourself having more and more problems in the future if you stick with 98.
