problems with this site.

im having some probs right now with this site.
its difficult to explain but just under where it says sponsored by wwr theres a yellow/orange bar across the screen with topics to click on.
but my problem is i can see just a small fraction of the top of the writing for each topic and i have no clue whats there.

before this new look setup i still had a similar problem but it was the lap timing and standings colums and i was just able to click on the tiny part of the writing showing.

its cooking my sweed!! lol
whats up???

could you print screen it please, the severs for the forums are playing around atm so i am trying to sort it.

im not very good with pc's so how do i print screen?

Steve,

Not sure if this helps but i have the same problem where the banners overlap. If i zoom out on the home page i can see everything and it is all correctly spaced. I use a Mac and have the option to zoom in or out when viewing web pages or documents. Been a while since i've used a PC but i would imagine you have that option somewhere too?

Regards,

Nigel

thanks nigel. i tried it but its still overlapped. bit strange that.

Sounds like it could be a browser incompatibility - I've tried it with Firefox 3.6, Internet Explorer 8 and Google Chrome and they all work fine.

EDIT: I've checked it with several browsers using this site: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php
and it seems that its Internet Explorer 6 that's not working correctly, IE7 and IE8 are OK.

EDIT 2: Had a quick look at the code, I think it may be because the header images are in PNG format - IE6 has big problems displaying PNG files, so may need to change this to a JPG file instead see if it works OK then.

hi mark.

i noticed in another thread you posted a pic of the screen and highlighted the standings and lap times but for me theres no way i can click on them as they dont exist on my screen.
from looking at your pic i can see that im seeing just the top part of profile etc.
if i cant sort it il never be able to see the standings. lol
also what you posted above sadly goes straight over my head. im pc illiterate.

Hi cosworth, here's a direct link to the results and standings page:

Looks like the current forum theme isn't working with older browsers like Internet Explorer 6, which I presume is what you have. I highly recommended using Firefox instead from www.getfirefox.com - fast, secure and works great!

(Sorry my techno-babble was for Mr Champion to have a look at when he can!)

Cheers

thanks a lot for putting up the standings link mark. i can use that from now on if i cant sort it.

i downloaded the firefox and saved file but nothings changed. do i need to do something else. sorry but i am useless on a pc. really annoys me that im so clueless but hey, im welsh what do you expect. lol

How about a dozen sheep BAH!!!!!! lol
