    Yeah, I know what you mean. RR can look at the Stats for the site to see how many IE7 visitors they are getting ... and he'll have to take a view on whether IT Support people, for the likes of your company, will upgrade within the next, say, 6 months ... if so it will be a bit difficult to justify the cost of adding support for IE7

    nFrost, can you use Chrome or Firefox instead or is your work PC locked down?

    Options B: Use IE7 on your Work PC to link to your Home PC, running New IE or Chrome :) using something like www.logmein.com (only thing to watch out for with that is that it constantly tries to get you to install the "Pro Version Trial" - which costs money (which is fine of course) but once you say Yes I don't think there is a way back to the Freebie version.

    Home PC needs to be on, and have had LogMeIn installed, and running, before you leave home :)

    I've counted me, Penny, Kandy, nFrost and Madahhlia having this problem so far.

    Any news on a fix [user]Richard.r[/user]?

    well IE7 is ancient, its very possible there is no "fix" for it, as simply the code/script used is now too advanced for IE7 to render properly

    I am looking into it though

      What I am finding is that GC is exceptionally slow of late, but I don't have this problem with other forums or the internet in general.

          I'm using Chrome, Marley, so maybe I should go back to Firefox ... and everything has suddenly gone very small and the layout has changed ... and I can't seem to choose my colour ... it just goes 'color' ... nor can I change my font ... :scratch:
