I have improved page appearance and functionality in only one way: I can now reply to a post (there is a reply link shown). I still can't see replies, and I still don't have the drop down menu under the "advertisement" bar to the left. I also have LOST functionality using Explorer - it is now identical to Firefox. I CAN see all replies if I am not signed in (just as before).
So.... whatever Andy did to upgade things didn't address the problem, but it does make Explorer and Firefox function and look the same (but going backwards, rather than progressing).
Anton:
I see no problem with publishing the link into other fora. Paul would probably like the extra publicity, too!
