You could try clicking Tools, Compatibilty View.

This sometimes helps with IE9.

Good luck

Thanks, I've tried this, but it doesn't make any difference Nice in a way toomanykids that I'm not alone, but frustrating isn't it! Anyone else got any ideas?

I am using IE8 and have not been able to get to the last page of Regularly updated Take a Break Puzzle for a few days ... just keep getting an error page up. Anyone know why this could be happening and has it been happening to anyone else?

Thanks.

Quite a few people have had this problem with the T-A-B and Puzzler threads at one time or another. If you look at T-A-B thread post #2, item 7) you will see these instructions which usually provide a solution.

7) If you have problems accessing particular pages in this thread (the forum sometimes does this for no apparent reason) you can try this:-

a) Exit the thread.
b) Click on "User CP" in the menu bar above the threads.
c) Select "Edit Options" in the menu on the left.
d) Change "Number of Posts to Show per page" to 10.
e) "Save Changes" at the bottom.
f) Go back into the thread and hopefully you can access it all.
(You can change back to 20 posts per page at any time)

FYI - the last post on T-A-B is currently #120

Thanks One-Eye, tried that too with no luck but strangely I can see the page if I log out, I have no idea why that should make a difference, anyone else know?

That makes it sound like a cookie problem. When you log back in is it not accessible again?

PS. I have added a post #121 which takes the thread on to page #7 - see if that makes a difference.

I never realised how weird this is. I can't see any of the pages on that thread except for your new post One-Eye (page 7 for you, page 4 for me), even though I manually cleared every MSE cookie, and when I asked hubby to log in on this same lappy, he could see the thread without any problems How weird!

Thanks One-Eye ... I can now access the new page you've created, but non of the other previous ones! I'll have a go at the instructions in a bit ...

Number of threads were set to 30 ... just changed to 20 and I can now access all the pages in the thread! Many thanks One-Eye and do hope you solve the problem soon toomanykids.

Thank you for all your help One-Eye :T:T:T I finally can view the whole thread if I set it to 5 posts per page, its a pita but I can change it back and at least I can enter those missing comps now, you are a little star
