    Hello All,

    We are still working on it and infact sophie from what you said today fills me with a bit of confidence. This morning I tried implementing something new and it is installed on one of our webservers, however we have more than one webserver, I will watch that one server and observe it over the next couple of days. If i find that the change I made has had no dramatical change to the running of the machine I will try the change on all of our servers.

    What this means is that you have a probability of hitting the 'changed' server every so often but you are not garuanteed to hit this box consistantly. As I said if all is fine with this implementation I will migrate the settings to the other machines later.

    Cheers Neil - I noticed I had the nice borders and beige back but it still had the little yellow triangle in the bottom left of IE. :(

    I've been hitting CTRL and F5 for ages now but to no avail :wall: why don't I get the nice server for a change :cry:

    UPDATE - Sat 30th Sept - 18:22

    I've got the nice borders and fonts back :T the only thing is it still shows a little yellow triangle in the bottom left indicating error on page. I still can't thank people or insert smileys by clicking on them. Hope this helps :beer:

    If you have a proxy server (like Onspeed or other accelerators), switch it off for a while, then press ctrl F5. Then restart the proxy. Apologies, I realise this advice is no use to people using the site at work.

    Redux - THANK YOU :kisses3: :D :T

    Now then, allow me to be your webmaster and I shall solve your problems :D

    Assuming you use Internet Explorer...

    In internet explorer go to Tools > Internet Options as shown below:

    internetoptions.jpg


    Now click on the Advanced Tab and scroll down to HTTP 1.1 settings and tick the box to look like this:

    test1.http-on.jpg

    *ATTENTION* If you are at work, you'll probably be using a PROXY so in that case tick the other box as well saying "USE HTTP 1.1 THROUGH PROXY CONNECTIONS"

    Now, press CTRL and F5 or just close internet explorer and restart.

    If it works, herald me as your king :D:D:D If not, then :p

    Crabster :)

    P.S: I still don't see why this site is the only one that played up. nelly's place works fine all the time :D :T
