IE7 and FF problems

cozumel · Feb 16, 2007, 04:59 PM

Look, I didn't have a clue where to make this post but this is my problem.

Below are a couple of screenshots:

This what I get when I open the view 'babe thread'. Notice that there are no menus available at the top. IE No Home, Forum, User CP etc buttons are displayed

And this is what I've got when I want to submit a post on that thread:

These screenshots are when using FF but I've got the exact same problem using IE7. Someone else has just posted on the thread so they haven't got the same issue.

The 'Babe Thread' is the only thread effected?!?!?!

Any suggestions anyone 'cos I've got some really good pics but can't submit them!!!!

Try replying in a new window. IE7 has some issues with frames. Just right-click on the reply button and choose to open in a new window.

Everything works here with Maxthon on IE6SP2 core.

Isn't it caused by some Ad blocking filters? But you said the Babe Thread is the only thread affected, that's strange

Ive tried different configs. Its the same with no ads blocked.

Yesterday I was on XP with either FF 2.0.0.1 or IE7. Now I'm running on the same rig running Linux and FF 1.5.0.9 and still got same problem. The top menu loads ok at first when DH is on process of loading all posts, ads, etc then suddenly they disappear and then I can't post.

I was thinking maye it was something with XPs autoupdating causing a prob but now I'm on Linux I can't understand it. I mean it's not problem of the century. There's only one thread on one Forum/Website that I'm having a problem with. But if it's an issue related to my setup I want to know what..

I hadn't used my rig as I was away (business) for two days. Everything fine before I left then I come back and I can't use the babe thread.

I'm always trying to learn more about my software/hardware so that I can always resolve any problems but I can't understand this. Nothings been changed at my end. No other users having problems. So what gives?

Check if you have a picture block feature enabled.Check your TOOLS/OPTIONS/CONTENT tab and make sure the exceptions are blank.

If all elese failes try to uninstall FF and reinstall the lastest version?..

There are no picture blocks enabled - I can view all photos 'till I go blind.

Tried to post in XP with FF & IE7 - no joy
Tried to post in Linux with FF - no joy

I have tried with adblock enabled and disabled

One thing I've just noticed - When the browser does the 30 sec freeze as the 'xbox ad' loads all buttons are available. Immediately after ads load the buttons disappear and functionality with it.

I'm going to be in the office Sunday as I'm representing a client in court Monday and need to prepare. I will logon from there using an older Linux Kernel with FF and see what's happening to compare setups.

This is quite embarrasing considering I used to be in hardware/ computer business.

Problem solved - I wasn't scrolling accross the page and taking into account the size of the photos displayed......whooops.....
