Viewing Instagram on PC

Has anyone else lost the top bar of Instagram when viewed on their PC. It's like the webpage is too big for the screen.

I haven't changed any settings and every other website is fine, just Instagram. It's annoying as I can't access my notifications, messages etc.

    I don't really use Instragram, but it sounds like one of things where if you shrink the screen a bit, it might show what you want it to. You probably know this, but you can click to adjust the zoom top right with the 3 dots, or hold the control button and use the mouse wheel to resize.

    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Seems to be a glitch, sure they'll fix it soon

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    My top bar appears down the side if that helps? 
    I did notice when I was doing some IG comps last night that it was glitching out though... People's pictures were extending into the where the text is supposed to be so I couldn't actually enter them

    Mine's the same on all browsers, doesn't make any difference if I zoom in/out or full screen. Its driving me batty! Let's hope that they fix it soon.
