Daly,
Assuming the NYT site is the site I think it is. I have just copied this article in IS9 with no problems, I have also copied bits and pieces from other pages.
Which version are you running I have just updated to 9.00.19
BTW I liked ADM when I tried it, but was put off by the bickering in the Yahoo group, the effort being put into Skype, and the stop-start development.

Graham, I am using .18 which I downloaded last night. I’ll download .19. Are there any noticable differences between the two of them?
Re ADM: The delays in coding are a pain. I think that’s the risk when small developers take on big challenges.
There was a recent round of bickering around issues related to the delay in coding. All in all I think that it was helpful because it helped to clarify some things in my mind. I share your concern with re to Skype. I maintain that, even with the delays and some of the bugs, no program matches ADM for flexibility when it comes to metadata columns, which I have finally organized in a way that more reflects how I work. Also, by making judicious use of quick jumps and saved custom views I am able to bounce around quite rapidly.
There had also been an earlier round of bickering when Stephen Diamond and Jan Rifkinson disagreed, but that was some months ago.

Daly,
You can ask IS to auto-update under Help. I haven’t noticed any differences.
When I looked at ADM, it was before I started to have problems with Zoot, and ADM didn’t offer me enough to change and I kind of forgot about it this time around. Having now bought both IS and UR, I am fairly confident I will be staying with oneor the other now.

Graham,
Your suggestion seems to work, but sporadically in my system.
I tried the NYT sites with my IE7 and had no problem. So, it might be an interaction with Firefox and IS9 issue.

It seems that IS is pretty MSIE centric. The odd instruction about “your browser” says nothing about applying only to MSIE, but the instructions only apply to the MSIE menu. So no recognition that other browsers exist
