Can't view full page. Help!

[Jacknife]

I can only see a narrow strip
of the page about 2 1/2 inches
wide.
It has login column to the left
and sponsors to right.
6 1/2 inches in total.
Can't expand it.???
Rest of page is blank except
for the trees in advert at top of
page which goes right across

In the FM forum I get what looks a screen shot of the forum appearing, half the text cut off extra column of adverts and no way of scrolling. Sounds like some display probs!

Yep. think that's what I'm getting.

Can't read all your post until I reply to it.

Same as Jacknife on my
work machine which has the
same problem with a couple of
other sites. (No bad thing )

Fine from home. Just shortened
this so Jacknife could read it.
[Edit, hang on, that wont work, he probably can't even see that. It's just a blank screen when you go into a thread.]

Both systems are the same,
Win2000, SP4, IE6 so it'll
probably not be any of that.

Firewall kinda issue? My
work bounces things through
all sorts of hardware and
software.

Can you let us know what screen resolutions you are using please?

[Grooveski]

1280x1024 on both machines.

It looks like this:

 

[Jacknife]

I'm using 800x600

High colour 16 bit

Win 98 SE

IE 6

That screenshot is exactly what
I'm seeing.

Thanks Grooveski.

When I go to reply here I'm promted
to sign in and after I've done that the
reply to thread screen comes up full size?
As soon as I move to another page it
returns to being narrow again. ??

We are looking into this by the way....not forgotten.

Is it still happening? We are having trouble reproducing it.

It's working ok for me now. I'm on a different computer.

If anyone is still having problems try going to Windows Update
and see if their browser has all the latest service packs loaded.
I had a problem with another site and this fixed it.

 

[wanderinstar]

I must be lucky. I DON'T get the adverts.

 

[pibbleb]

On some threads I don't seem to get the adverts, but on others the adverts interfer with the text in the thread, to the point where I actually can't see all of the text.

Most are ok,but if there is a picture and the side scroll becomes necessary,I'm stuck;no scroll.

I can't see the prices asked in a quite a few sales posts.


Very frustrating.

Tried it today, still a train wreck.
Wouldn't worry about it if it's just that one computer, it's been through the wars, seen a few viruses and is long overdue a rebuild.

If you're terminaly curious I'd guess it had something to do with the advert up in the trees on the right. It seems to want to sit in the same location as the BcUK title image. I think it's when the ad loads that everything gets shunted together.
Bear in mind I have zero experience with web pages before chasing geese though.

 

[pibbleb]

I still get it. Seems to be on the sellers stuff mainly but occassionally on other threads.

I have it too, it means I cant delete my PMs and my inbox is almost full.
