Title: what's wrong with my computer
Post by: neil howard-pritchard on December 17, 2009, 09:20:57 AM
when I go onto a forum post I am missing the whole of the right hand side of the written post, even though I use the "travel bar"( what I call the bar on the bottom of the page.....being computor illiterate doesn't help matters) to move the post left.

can anyone please help me IN SIMPLE TERMS.
TA!

Hi Neil,

Can you do a screen capture and post it to show the problem your experiencing?

Is it only happening on Paddleducks or on other websites?

Regards
Eddy

 This happens to me as well Eddy.

The left hand section is there, but the right hand side  contains the last site visited.

As a temporary measure (cure?), I sign in on the left side paddleducks page and then click on 'Forum' which then takes it's place on the right side.

I then click the cross on the top of the left side and it clears away to expand the Forum section normally.

I've just re- read that and it does sound worst than actually doing it    8)

Another "feature" of this new site is that when I click on the actual letters, some of the pages are twice as wide as others. The white section at the bottom of the letters does not always expand to meet the content.

These are just observations and do not spoil the enjoyment of the content in any way.

For the ones with a problem, can you please clear your browser cache and let me know if that cures things?

I have a feeling it's probably caused by old files being read instead of the updated ones.....

I've just spent an interesting 1/2 hour working on this problem.

I cleared the browser cache and tried different ways of loading Paddleducks. Finally came to conclusion it was loading two versions at the same time. This showed up when starting from the desktop icon.

If already on another program and switched to Paddleducks the original program stayed in the right hand pane while the second Paddleducks came in the left pane.  Hey ho !!  Changed the code on the desk top and now back to normal.   :whistle

sorry lads , i was called away for a few days, but have just logged on now and everything seams normal, but if it goes again, i'll have a mate around to look at what you have said, as it's all double dutch to me, being computor litterate.
as for paying me bill, derick......i've not paid in years......saw what the dingles did on emmerdale farm, and linked in to next doors supply.....they don't understand when their bills are so high, lol.

Thanks Neil,

It does indeed seem like a browser cache issue, and your browser has eventually loaded the new files..... Sorry for the technical jargon!

Anyway, if all is well, we'll call this issue closed.
