Posting, My format is all messed up and nobody else is complaining about this, I am using 3 browsers, my buttons are missing, my hit advanced button is missing, everything is fucked up beyond belief and nobody here is reporting this ? Smaller issues were reported when we went to VB, by many people, this is a bit more messed up and nobody is reporting this ? My last post was August 18 and that was fine and since then John has stated that nothing has changed on the forum.

Everything on the forum looks normal to me Magnes. I can see all of the forum elements including all of the buttons etc. I am having problems inserting images from off forum URL's. Other than that everything appears as it should do.

What you are describing almost sounds like a communications problem. As if, not ALL of the data that makes up the web page is being received by your computer and as a result the page is not rendered correctly. I won't go into an explanation of how web pages work but there are opening "tags" and closing "tags" and both must be received before a page can be rendered.

Internet Explorer though doesn't need to have those tags because MS don't adhere to the W3 specification for web pages. They have their own interpretation, as they do with everything. They are a bit like monsanto. Take something that works, turn it into something that doesn't and sell it. Anyway IE will assume the closing "tags" are where it wants to assume they are if it can't see the actual ones.

Can you do some basic testing to see if your connection is working properly. Maybe find a bandwidth/speed test site to get a measure on your connections performance. Run a ping test to yahoo and see how many errors if any appear or how many milliseconds it takes to get an reply.

Windows instructions: Start -> Run -> cmd -> Ok

Type in the command: ping www.yahoo.com
(will ping 4 times)

or try: ping /n 10 www.yahoo.com
(will ping 10 times)

ping /n 10 www.yahoo.com > c:\pingtest.txt
copies output to a text file located on C drive called pingtest.txt

You will/should see something like this:
Reply from 72.30.38.140: bytes=32 time=399ms TTL=52

And this:
Packets: Sent = 10, Received = 10, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Those milliseconds or Time readings are pretty high, but I am in OZ so understandable. Any errors or a Packet Loss > 0% could indicate connection issues.
