Right - it looks like you guys might have a serious cross-browser compatibility issue here.

I (and many others) still use Internet Explorer 8 as our web browsers, as it is the latest available to people running Windows XP.

I can use Firefox to make profile changes, but NOT IE8.

There may be a setting in the forum admin software to allow it to be compatible with IE8....

windows XP?? That's about 20 years old!

About 40% of PCs that I work on these days are still using Windows XP, and many people are still using IE8 on Windows 7.

Good to see you got your avatar pic up though.

It looks there are some javascript errors too - this is from the error dialog box:

I passed your concerns on. On a lighter note, I see that 3 members have chosen to use an 'old bike' as their avatar pic. Have we started something?

Well, I sort of gave the web development game away - I was doing business websites, which usually don't have forums attached.
I did consider putting my name forward to help, but was already over-committed to other tasks.

As far as the avatar goes, I don't have a lot of good photos of the YZ, so the TT got the nod (for now)

I never meant there there was anything wrong with it, it's much better than the pile of crap that came out after it.. As I said I am a simpleton and have no idea about all this computer stuff.

Serge C Online Administrator I Wanna Be Sedated Posts: 3059 Thank you received: 169	Nup, mine didn't work! it's changed at the top of the page, but my posts are still coming out with the original pic! Now it's worked! I think you have to 'delete' your original pic, then add a new one!
