Help, I'm adrift!

Help me! Help me!

As of yesterday. my version of the MantidForum on Computer #1 (ma Main Machine :lol: ) has ceased to function normally.

The Area above "Mantidforum .Net" is blank, and more importantly, the buttons at the bottom of each post that say "quote" and "reply" and the ones below that are missing. Not a trace. I am also unable to reply to PMs or initiate a new topic.

I am bashing this out on Computer#3, and since I dont have a KVM switch or a cable router, this is very inconvenient, but it does establish that I have screwed up the settings in some way, and if they can be screwed up, they can be unscrewed.

I PM'd Peter (that function is unaffected, for some reason) who replied very promptly, but (surprise!) he has a life outside of the forum and was too busy at the moment to troubleshoot with me.

I have played with every control that looked even remotely applicable, obviously without success.If anyone can help me solve this problem I shall be moost grateful (so I imagine, will Peter!).

Thanx in advance.

Each of my machines has a different OS, and it is interesting to see how something as simple as sending this message is different on XP from Vista.

And if it helps, I was messing around uploading pix from Picasa Export files before The World Ended.

What browser do you use?

Have you tried it on other browsers?

Have you reinstalled your browser?

O.K. Bassist:

That was quick! It ran fine on IE6 on the XP machine, but I expected that. I uninstalled Firefox, my default browser, and it runs fine on IE7. Many thanks indeed.

I had tried the obvious remedy of doing a system restore (I create a point daily), and it failed to restore from two different points (grrr, what's the point of SR if it doesn't work when U need it? i###@$!) so tomorrow I shall look for a good third party restore system. I might just have one hidden away already. Know a good third party appy? Now I'll reinstall Firefox. and see what happens!

Thanx again.

I've never had to use a third party system restore before so no, I have the same problem every now and then with firefox happened yesterday actually usually fixes itself when I close and reopen the browser though.
