Greetings,

Thank you for all your reports concerning the problem with Deja News and Lynx.  
Though we have not 
yet found a complete fix to this situation, we have discovered a possible work 
around for the 
short term.

We have had success using the Power Search page: 
(http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml)

in conjunction with setting the results format to "threaded".  In our tests 
when these parameters 
are used the hitlist navigation links "Previous" and "Next" article will appear 
at the bottom of 
the page.

Please, give this temporary work around a try.  We will continue looking into 
ways of rectifying 
the overall problem, so that the tabular and list formats will hopefully be 
available to compatible 
Lynx users as well.

Again, thank you for your patience and effort in relaying to us your concerns 
with the Deja News 
Site.  We apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered due to this 
situation.

Thank you,
Deja News Support Team
