We've had a couple of reports of some bugs strange layouts on older browsers and some weird behaviour with the forum.

Lee is currently beating Chris with a big stick to get them sorted asap but it would really help us if anyone seeing problems could put the details here so that we know what we're looking for.

Please include a description of the problem and what operating system (windows xp, vista, 7 etc) and browser and version you are using (internet explorer 6, 7, 8, firefox 2, 3 etc)

We do know that some of the layout problems are worst with Internet Explorer 6, IE6 is obsolete and no one should still be using it. It is dangerous to run IE 6 as it is the most susceptible browser to virus attacks. If you are using IE6 you really should consider moving to IE8 (http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/internet-explorer/browse-with-confidence.aspx?WT.mc_id=Search&WT.srch=1) or even trying Firefox (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/)

If the forum doesn't appear to be logging you in properly try clicking the white "Forum" button towards the top left, next to "What's New" and above "New Posts" for some reason it doesn't seem to be picking up the fact that some users have logged in and have access to the academy members section when they first log in but pressing this button a second time seems to put everything right.

Hi,

Using Windows XP Exp 7....

Home page overlays print on top of each other for about 5 seconds every time I go onto the page then it corrects itself.

On Photo Academy page the right hand side showing whats coming up does not show the dates correctly. The dates look like they are 'half hiding' under the main headlines so you can not read them.

Hope that helps..

Stew :thumbsup:

Issues still as I pm'd earlier this week, Steward has noticed same issues, and some text on photographic academy page is hidden behind the newsletter signup box.
Also, threads in the forum are not displaying the unread posts icon.

IE7 should be a lot happier now we think, we've still got to sort some of the IE6 issues and we're going to be making some changes to the forum as well so that should improve as we do that.

Keep the feedback coming

All fixed as far as I can see, huge improvement.
All pages seem to be rendering correctly now, thanks.
