« on: October 23, 2011, 11:10:31 PM »
ok for some reason the only thing on my front page of this forum is the new posts?? has been like this for about a week now, here is a screen shot. any admin able to shine some light on this? and because of this i had to go into my own posts section look for a post i made in this section to make this post here. it was the only way i could view any other section besides new posts. hoping this could be rectified is this only with me or others as well? cheers

Aaaah!! I had this problem a while back... Ebay went all cranky on me also.

Someone ( i cant remember who, but i thank you) on this forum came up with the solution. I think all i had to do was clear my cache, turn comp off then on again and all was back to normal

 i thought maybe it was because i was using firefox, but the same was with Internet explorer and then i thought maybe it was this computer, so i tried it on my other computer and my ipod touch and my missus iphone, all the same thing. i didnt say anything earlier to be honest i was waiting for some one else to bring it up if it was an issue every one was having, because its been a week and no one else said anything i thought i will ask as maybe  the issue wasnt seen by every one. id really love to find a solution to this cheers

This catches some people sometimes - see the plus I have highlighted? If you click it, it expands the forums back. Try it - it will be a minus now, click and you get that contracted view and it turns into a plus. Click again, back to normal.

ahaha i bet that was the bloody problem too, i just clocked that after you said it and the forum went back to how it was before i deleted temp internet files clicked again and bingo its big. and it must save that to my preferences on forum viewing in my account so iff i log in from any where it keeps that setting, cos now on all the devices it shows it back to normal,even the stupid iphone wow to think it was that simple and i was about to see if a smart phone could fly as i had no idea how to clear the cache on that thing.
