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. $0.02 |

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. |
