Bizarrely I have discovered that it appears that polls do not show up in latest threads list, on IE 9 at least..

Have responded in the poll, I'm using IE8 now ( on Windows XP) and can't say that I have noticed any usability issues.

I was using ie9 (64 bit) for the old forum. ATM though, I'm using firefox as it's impossible to make sense of what's what using ie9. Loads of white space and everything over to the left with no background or theme at all. Also, all there seemed to be was the text of what had been posted.

Cheers

Right, those of you with problems in IE8 - make sure that you turn compatibility view mode OFF and try again...

I think that there is the same issue with IE9, with compatability view on there is a lot of 'white' space, so I've switched it off and don't have any problems.

The only small problem I appear to be having is accessing the posts on the top right of the home page. I keep getting "Server error - 404". However, they appear to be quite old posts and haven't changed since yesterday despite there being newer posts when accessing the top 50.

Other than that, looks good, like the changes and thank you for all the hard effort that has and is still being put in.

Cheers - Simon

I've got IE8 at work and it has been working fine there. Can't test it here as I use FF6 at home.

Middle click (with the scroll wheel if you have one) with your mouse. This is a standard though for opening any web links in a new tab on any page though.
