Browser version, maybe doing an update to IE6sp1

Or to save hassle : www.mozilla.org and grab moz1.31 - 12megs or so

Is it just on the Boards homepage or on all pages with the toolbar Lenny? (You didn't need to post a full screenshot! )

Oh, and are the links actually there? When you mouseover where they're supposed to be, does the cursor change?

Sorry about the big file
No, there is no links behind the drop downs,
Would have have any other sites with a drop down toolbar off your head that I could try too.. ?

Bizarre. The fact that the dropdown is showing up like that suggests that JavaScript hasn't been turned off, and the size of it suggests that there's content in the DIVs. Hmmm. You might have just been unlucky and hit Boards when the menus update was happening, try a forced refresh (CTRL+F5). If that doesn't work, try clearing your cache, closing your browser and reopening it.

When was the boards menu update done?
The refresh didn't work.. and neither did clearing the cache in the norton utilies...
I am downloading ie6 now see if that fixes it.

That's the support forum Lenny. Moved to Feedback, it does seem to be an issue with the menus. Someone might want to merge this and...

We've no idea why that happened, nothing changed last night (though I spent a good few minutes looking closely at Crash_000's nick cos I made him mod of CTYI last night, not that that could affect it but , well, you get all paranoid in these situations!).

After ...um ... careful technical inspection, we have ah, resolved the issue. (ok we hit it with a big stick. a lot... we've no idea why that seems to have fixed it but it works now and I mean, after all, in the tech industry isnt that all that matters? )

Any further odd happenings, please report it here.
Anyone still getting this problem (after a Shift+F5 refresh) ?

DeV.
