    Buggered if I know - I'm sure some IT geek will explain it soon.

    I didn't realise you had quotation marks, it will be something to do with that. I've just put the quotation marks back in, it worked okay.

And I would be surprised if nobody else has this problem.

    Can we have it fixed pleezzee..
    OK, so I try again. Anyone with some more in-depth understanding here able to sort this? Would be much appreciated.

    That's actually serious advice believe it or not. Your screen needs adjusting and you use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to do that. Good luck though cos they're all different so I couldn't even begin to tell you exactly how to do it.

    Question

    Hi MT. Thanks for that. And I disagree. I never had a problem before the change. And I have no problems with any other site.

    Also, all other stuff on KB is working swell. Only this thingy that causes issues.

    Try this on your screen: Click on the sizing icon in top R/H corner so that you are allowed to drag the side of the KB screen inwards. Once this is working, go to your page and look at how first the >> disappear, then the rest one by one. Nothing else goes hiding. In the past I have always had KB open with my Favorites open on L/H side of the screen. If I now do this the >>, the Rep points, the Infractions all go away. Surely this has nothing to do with my "lack of fiddling with the buttons at the bottom of my screen"???

    Or even just do that: Have favorites open at L/H side and change the size of Favorites and look at the effect...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Sounds like you might need to update your web browser. Other than that I can't reproduce what you're seeing. Everything works correctly unless I reduce the window down to about 1/10th the width of the screen, and then everything is farked.

    I haven't seen anyone else moan about this but ... the strip of video links along the top of the Forums page is horrid in my view.

    I guess it's because we go to forums to chat and to other places to view vids and pics. As far as I can see, the selection doesn't change either. Personally, I don't have the bandwidth (5gb/month) to view vids

    Is it an 'enhancement' we have no control over or one that everyone else thinks is ok?

    Maybe a screen shot would help? I use firefox too, and the site degrades nicely for me.

    Here's how profiles look on a clunky old CRT monitor running IE at 800 x 600 resolution...

    It drops profile boxes over the photo, and most of the profile info tabs down the bottom have to be accessed by clicking the arrow.

    how do I start a new thread please

    I have looked through the FAQ's, but the new thread option does not seem to appear on my options??
    I wanted to ask if anyone had advice on short trip destinations and places to stay that were secure for bikers. I wanted to do my first long trip and wasn't too sure about security for the bike. Its not much but I would want her stolen.
    help please

    I did this just the other day - click on "new posts", select the best forum for your topic (eg rant and rave) from the column on the right hand side. You need to be in the forum first, and once you're there a "new thread" button will appear for you like magic on the top left below the menu bar.

    Hope your trip goes well, good to be prepared

    When starting a new thread:

    1. Make sure it's in the right forum
    2. It has a meaningful subject line.

    I don't ask much.
