Very good advice, IE is a dying browser. Kinda sad actually...

So many people still use it and the site looks fine in my IE. @IcePics any chance of uploaded a screenshot? Maybe try upgrading IE. 2 years in computer age is a life time. Especially with Microsoft. They send bug fixed every week. And a word of warning. NEVER EVER use IE for online banking. The internet is full with exploits for old IE.

Our County had a requirement to have their site work with IE and it always caused issues with the others. Hackers had back doors to IE practically before new versions were released. Firefox has been my Go To (except for a time this summer when it had trouble with the new Flash release. I then used Chrome, which works very well once you get used to it.

Microsoft paid for many years 1 Million dollar fine each day to the european court as microsoft forced people to use IE in windows. And thats illegal here in Europe. But Mircosoft made more money in one hour so they did not change it and did not care either.

Maybe things will change eventually but I'm sure for now enough people are using IE that existing websites seem to usually be compatible with it.

Anyway today this seems to be loading as it should but I can't click back a page, I have to click on the back arrow twice. I posted previously in the thread that it had been showing that going back a page was going to an ad (it showed what says something like ad.doubleclick that some sites seem to use), now it just doesn't go back; I think my anti-viral software is trying to block it as it blocks pop-ups on here.

edit - I spoke too soon, the main pages are OK but when I click on a particular topic to read the thread it loads so I have to scroll down past lots of blank white space with the right hand column stretched out vertically - new members are shown one at a time vertically down the page, the names show up really large etc.

I'm still having the same problems... pages don't load correctly, I can't go back a page without clicking twice.

We have done many changes in the last month and I am surprised you still have issues with IE. Any chance that you could post a screenshot please?

I checked again just now and all looks perfect.

I tried before but didn't figure out how to do a screenshot to post here. The main page loads OK but it's when I go to another page that the right column is spread out down the page so the comments start waaay down the page. I have to click twice every time to go back a page.

For screen print, you can click the "prt scn" button, then paste it into many editors. If you have Picasa loaded and open, it will automatically paste it into a Screen Capture file (.bmp) and let you save to as a jpg.
It can also be pasted into Accessories/MS Paint.

If you still have trouble, you can paste into Word and email to me and I will get it posted.

Q: I've updated my profile with items such as gender, location, etc. But in the forum none of that information shows up beneath my profile pic. Why is that?

Also, I see some folks have a tiny URL icon beneath their profile pic, but I can find nowhere in my profile to enter a URL. Are there separate settings for forum postings, and I'm just missing it?

Thanks, I'm now able to go back a page by clicking once.

John I hate to say it but since I took my early retirement, I never renewed what came on my computer when I bought it, and I haven't needed Word etc. since! I don't have Picasa, or Paint, don't know how to save the screen shot (not sure what editor you mean). Did I ever say I've had very little computer training?? LOL I just pulled up Word and yes, apparently it has expired... Thanks for trying to help anyway.

Sharon -
Under Accessories is Paint.
Hit that "prt scn" , open Paint, click Paste, then "Save As" jpeg picture. Check your PM.

Thanks to John and many messages later, here are screen shots of how pages look after I log in. If I scroll over the black bar where it says Photography Forum and Photography Articles, the boxes drop down as shown - and stay that way.

That's messed up . . .
Sorry, got carried away. When I was registering, I had an odd little dialog pop up and warn me to check my fields before proceeding. I have no idea why, they were all complete. Is that supposed to happen?

Just jumping in to give heads up that we have a number of major changes coming around the corner where most of these items are getting taken care of with these updates. Stay tuned friends!

Much respect,

Alex
