The boxes with the social networking buttons are supposed to be there. They are part of the forum look. They're not broken.

Hey raphanius,

When we launched the redesign of the forum we gave the user the ability to revert back to the old style, there is a chance you may have clicked that link.

Can you go to here-> http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/profile.php?do=editoptions and scroll to the bottom where it says "Forum Skin" and ensure that has New Look selected.

Thanks

Neil

thanks neil....thats now worked. strangely i tried that yesterday and it didnt work hence the thread but now it has and i can see the widgets.

EDIT it doesnt work....it worked once frm that link you gave me i shut that window and refreshed this window and its still the old site i shut ie8 and reopened it still the old site.

this is driving me nuts.

another edit...the new look works in firefox. so its obviously an internet explorer bug. still that doesnt help me as cannot stand firefox.

Make sure you have only one Internet Explorer window open and use that link again to set the style to the "new look".

That should sort it it permanently.

If not, remove any cookies that refer to an MSE style, and try again.

ive searched my hd and there are no mse cookies to be found. also i tried opening a window from the link and shutting the old window before changing to 'new look' to find it was already set as 'new look' yet i cant see the new mse skin.

it would help if the moderator would reply to my queries because it looks like the site has issues with ie8

You should be able to find them here:



Works perfectly fine in IE8 here.

ok found the cookies thanks fermi (turns out most of my hd's content was hidden) and deleted two moneysavingexpert.com cookies. set the site style to default then to new look and it seems to be working. fingers crossed.

See, I always knew fermi was a genius

Firefox rules, and IE8 is absolute abysmal (it crashed on me earlier tonight just because AVG9 was updating itself, what on earth's that about?)
