HELP! Can’t see the middle section — only see ads!

[Jenny SmithParticipant]

Many of you have been reporting you can’t see the center column. After receiving help from some users, we were able to determine the problem is with old versions of Internet Explorer:

Thanks, A. My suspicions are confirmed. This is a viewing issue with IE6. There have been two releases since your browser’s installation, and IE6 is no longer supported by Microsoft. You can download the latest version, IE8, and enjoy this website again:

In the meantime, I will try to figure out what is special about certain types of pages that causes IE6 to break. Can someone with IE6 tell me exactly *which* pages don’t show? Apparently some are working….

It will help me if someone can describe what they see on these pages:

Thanks for all your help, everyone!

If you are having the IE6 problem, before you install IE8, please click the links above and report back on what you’re seeing — since I don’t have IE6, it would be helpful to me to know which pages work so I can determine where the bug is.

Thanks,

I’ve been having the same problem with no content being displayed in the middle section. All the links work, but the middle section of the pages are blank. I tried creating a new account, but that came up blank also. Help?

[Jenny SmithParticipant]

If you install IE8, your problems should be fixed, Becki.

I too only see white in the middle. I am not allowed to upgrade to IE8 as my hubby says it has too many problems. We had it once and had to revert to sn older version as it caused our computer to crash repeatedly. Is there any other way to be able to see the content in the middle?

[Jenny SmithParticipant]

Kristen, you can always use Firefox, Chrome, or IE7. IE6 is the only version that seems to have problems.

Since I can’t install IE6 (because of a Service Pack problem that I won’t torque), it would be VERY helpful if someone would check the links in the original post and let me know what they see. Only then can I actually *fix* the problem.

Thanks for the help. I am now using Firefox and it worked!

[Jenny SmithParticipant]

Glad it helped — I use Firefox myself. IE and I seem to be diametrically opposed somehow :)
