Display problems? Am I an idiot?, page 1

couple of things here, did you purchase low bandwidth mode from the ATS Store?

if not, I find this works for me when something like this comes up, dump your internet cash then un plug your computer from it's modem or router for about 15 seconds or longer. plug it back in and see if it worked. This is just an idea that works for me hope it helps

Thank you for replying.

No, I haven't.

I was thinking along those lines too, and I have tried that. Thank you, though. Still the same. A lot of stuff doesn't appear...not seeing the stars people attach to posts is another example.

Ahh...I thought it was probably something like that! Been using Firefox so long that I forgot about Explorer...which I fired up, and it seems to display stuff correctly. Anyone else have this problem with Firefox? Do I need a plugin or something?

Thanks for the help, anachryon and sauron.

I may be mistaken, but I think the preview button has been temporarily removed.

I like Firefox's "tab" function mostly...and ya, I am using Adblock apparently. I haven't solved my issue yet, but I'll fiddle with the settings. I'm getting a new comp soon too, so I may just wait

I only use FF and my preview button is gone also. If they decided to remove the preview button(even temporarily) that is a very bad idea!

To any mod or admin, can we please have the preview button back? It really sucks not being able to preview long posts for errors. It's more time consuming having to edit, check, edit again and check again.

I use Firefox exclusively without problems.
I am doubting this is your problem, but I was surprised initially when I clicked on a thread that was "Below Top Secret", because I had to Log In all over again in order to see all the avatars and such in that section of ATS.
I have to say that while I love Firefox, every time it gets updated - which is really often any more, it seems like more and more stuff on web-pages gets blocked, and I have to do more and more manually to unblock things I want to see. Some of this has to do with NoScript tho, which also keeps getting more and more restrictive.
But I guess that is the price of safe computing.
Hmm, I note there is no Preview button here. I think I saw something recently about it being disabled for some sort of repair issue or something.

I think you're right. Upgrading my entire system in a few days, so hopefully all will be back to normal. My computer has been doing a lot of weird stuff, it's old and I need to let it die.

Thanks for the help, everyone - much appreciated.
