I don't know whether there was an upgrade here but IE (latest version) has a hard time displaying threads (textboxes appear in every comment). That was not there with IE a couple days ago. (I swear). Firefox is fine. Not a big deal, but letting y'all know.
Text boxes? Do you mean ads? Or something else?Quote:

And now that I am thinking about it, might be because of the ads ;) Like an option of ads appearing on each reply or something. Really. Check it out on exploder. 'Tis trippy ;)
What version of IE are you using? I've checked it in both IE8 and 9... Don't see anything strange about the ads on the right.Quote:

I'd like to convince people to upgrade if possible. It's a really terrible browser. Here's the link to the IE8 download (or even better, switch to Firefox or Chrome if possible):Quote:

I am using IE 9.0.8xxx on Vista
Well, that's certainly interesting. I cannot get it to replicate the error using IE9 under Win7. Anyone else having problems?Quote:

People still use IE?
Rocketpig,
I have the same problem when I use the site at work. I thinks its Vista. Can't update work computers.
EDIT: It's Windows XP. Whatever. I knew it was one of the crappy old versions.
Upon plunking around on TD a bit further while at work, I have to agree here that the text boxes are proving to be a huge headache trying to navigate through any threads. One in every 5 or so replies will also contain a video link advertisement, which is throwing stuff out of whack even more. This only became a problem in the past couple days.
Is the video auto-playing with sound? If so, I certainly want to know immediately. That is a huge no-no in my opinion.Quote:

There does not appear to be sound, but each of them auto plays. I currently have two of them going in this thread alone... With the text boxes on each reply to the thread.Quote:

Okay, I booted it up on another computer. I see what you're saying... It plays sound-less video. Not my favorite thing in the world but not terribly annoying, either. I'll check with the TwinsCentric guys and get their opinions.
Not sure what you did today, but it is fixed. Bravo! :cool:
Good. At some point today, I contemplated just pounding my head on the keyboard in hopes that I'd trigger the "enough monkeys at enough keyboards and you'll get Shakespeare" theory into reality.Quote:
