Screen Display Issues - hardware? software? appl. software?

Firefox is messed up pretty bad (shown on the RH side below) - note lack of all the gray boxes. Other sites are even worse.

Yet, Chrome (on the left) seems to work fine.

Yet again, MS Outlook seems messed up a little bit (as tho it is running in some sort of reduced resolution or low color bit mode).

other apps seem ok - Word, Excel, iTunes...




I can't seem to find anything in the Firefox Options that is wrong (and the secret squirrel, hidden options on a web page looking thingie are beyond my ability to decipher).

You seem to have ad-block installed and active on the forums. It looks like the client-side javascript/CSS files (that do a lot of the layout work) are not being loaded properly.

I'd disable adblock for the site and try again.

If that doesn't work, try a force-reload (ctrl-shift-R) to see if that fixes it, or clear your cache and reload.

perhaps the java settings in the options\content are disabled. its not a hardware issue. perhaps java needs to be reinstalled.

Java has NOTHING to do with it... Java isn't being used at all.

Javascript is NOT Java.

I went to the Add-Ons menu to see if there was a popup blocker installed - did not see one, tho I know I used to have one; maybe it did not survive the new computer or upgrad to Ffox 4

BUT... I did note that the buttons on the plugins "page" or menu are messed up - they have two line drawings or outlines around them, and are not colored.

that seems not to be on the internet but inside Firefox...???

See if you can manually download this file: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/clientscript/vbulletin_important.css?v=387

That is the main file that determines the layout of the site. Odds are it's been corrupted in some manner, and is cached in your system.

And I run with JS disabled on here, and it works fine.
