Works ok for me in IE7

Using both the link you gave and clicking on your name gives me the full page in IE7.

What's that No Entry symbol at the bottom right in IE's status bar? Is that significant?

No entry symbol. . .

It's a blocked cookie from c7.zedo.comm or ad.doubleclick.net, or one of a myriad of others. I block all third party cookies, and approve all others.

When I clicked on your link....

..... a smaller page appeared. The top and the left panes looked normal, but the center was black. No scroll bar appeared on the right, so couldn't check if more would appear down the page.

However, when I click on your active name in your post, all works just fine.

I use Safari 2.04.4

It does this on all four of my XP Pro machines. And it just started doing this.

Is there a common denominator?
Sep 28, 2007 9:10PM PDT

Having this occur on 4 machines running XP would suggest a change in the web site html code itself. View Source of your profile page shows extensive CSS and javascript is used, but whether they have changed or not I can't say.

If it has changed, then perhaps it is no longer fully compatible with IE6. If I remember rightly, you are still using IE6 rather than IE7, but I may be mistaken. You could test this on one computer. Upgrade to IE7 and see if that brings the profile page back into order. You can always revert back to IE6 if you wished.

Does this happen on other profile pages, eg mine?

Is there any other common denominator? Like Windows updates on all machines recently, or any add-ons added or updated?

It's a mystery.
