    Over the last few days I've been having trouble with GC's site display.

    The top half of GC opens out width-ways, which makes the bottom half of the site disappear completely, from General Discussion down. The only way I can retrieve it is to hit the Gardeners Corner - the only gardening forum you will ever need.....line above Post New Thread, at the top of the page.

    As soon as I go into another thread it does the same thing.

    Also, it does this in reverse, so when I'm looking at the bottom of the site, the top half vanishes.

    Can you help please and could it be a server problem?

    Hi Sheal we've had some updates and new features added to the site over the last couple of days which might be the source of your problem could you take a screenshot for us so we can see what you mean?

    In case you don't know (if you do just ignore:sunny:) you take screenshot by pressing the print screen button on your keyboard, usually abbreviated to Prtsc or similar and if your on a laptop you may also have to press the FN key at the same time... normally it's located on the top or near top row of buttons after that just go on to MS Paint and paste the screenshot in and save it as a JPG file:thumbsup:

      Oh that's not a good start:scratch:

      What Version of Windows are you using Sheal (assuming your not on a Mac or Linux PC) if it's Vista or 7 then you should be able to just type "Paint" (without the quotation marks) in the start menu search box and it will find it, if your on XP or earlier then I think it's under All Programs --> Accessories:)

      Ok Aesculus,

      What a merry go round! I've had to get my son in America to take over my computer remotely to sort this out.

      I have a screen pic but have to get that onto this thread now. Bear with me I'm not ver good at this stuff. :scratch:

        So in that screenshot your in the sub-forum Gardening Discussion and it looks just like mine does:what:

        I'm actually offline for most of to day so I won't be able to reply but I'm sure the other mods will be along soon to lend a hand. *HINT*:wub2:

        :scratch: Well I have been to the control panel & looked at your account, but I can't see anything obvious to indicate why you are having that problem.. I will see if I can find anything out though..

        That's right Aesculus, but the bottom half from General Discussion down is missing, where as the whole site is normally available to scroll through.
        The odd thing is when I'm in General Discussion, the top half Gardening Discussion does the same thing. Also the same happens if I'm in Site Feedback and Information, the rest of the site is missing.
