problem on news and extensions

[brian]

Wouldnt normaly use IE6 but I am in an internet cafe so no choice.

The main content of both the news and extensions website is not displaying until after the end of the left column. This results in pages of empty space and could cause people to think nthere is nothing there.

At a guess it is something to do with the addition of googleads(yuk) to those pages

I tried to post a screenshot but there is no graphics software on this pc

Hi Brian,

Thanks for reporting. Checked myself with IE6 and for me it's showing normal, news and extension site.

[brian]

well I've tried it on two machines here at the internet cafe and both have the same problem

Let's see if others report the same. I'm on Windows XP, IE6.x (SP2)

Just setting up a browsercam test page to show you.

You should be able to access it at http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=239909

Brian, does the IE there got adblocker?

Mine's working fine. XP SP 2, IE 6.0.2900.2180

[brian]

No

The adverts are there just way down the page.

Check out the browsercam page at the link i posted above and you can see that it it not this PC.

Hi Brian,

I've been able to replicate it, its when the screen resolution is at 800x600.

I'll let Andy know and see if it can be fixed.

Cheers

Glad you can see it too.

But the screenshots taken with browsercam (which I trust far more than the PC i am on in this cafe) were all taken at 1024.

You can see the offending screens at the url I posted above

Hi Brian,

Its not a full 1024x768 capture. By that I mean the screen might be at 1024 but the browser was not.

Look at the bottom right corner of the image, the triangular dots indicate that the broswer was not maximised hence the resized triangle is visable. I have tested locally and the fault happens when the broswer hits about 1000 pixels wide.

Still a problem, so I'll still let Andy know.

I was seeing the same thing using IE 6.0.2900 at 1024x768 resolution. All the center/right hand content was displaying at the bottom of the page, but I just now tried it again and it seems to be fine.
