+Maxwell10 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I am not sure how to properly explain the issue but many cache listings I try to view seem to go outside the margin and get cut off, it's like viewing half a page, (left margin is missing or the ad covers part of the page) wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? (noticed this since Friday) Link to comment
+Maxwell10 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Are you using IE 6? Yes Link to comment
+retrofit Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I have noticed this too... a few of my cache pages that have been working great have started acting strage by making the window smaller BUT on evening opening it up to 1280X800 still creates an issue where he to overlap the left nav bar covers over the cache page. yes for IE6 Link to comment
+BrokenLug Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm also using IE6. And just noticed the ads encroaching the left side on someones profile page. Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Its happening to me too Its so bad I can't read the coords. It has been noted in the Update thread but it seems that it hasn't been fixed yet Link to comment

+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Peanuts- you didn't have to get a new computer or new software. Something that was included in last Friday's update is causing this. It looks like it's limited to those of us still using Internet Explorer 6. The way to tell what version of IE 6 you're using is to click on Help in the top toolbar, then click on About Internet Explorer, and then read the version you have installed. Raine (GC.com programer) is aware of it. As for working on a fix, well ..... Deane AKA: DeRock & the Psychic Cacher - Grattan MI Link to comment
+Maxwell10 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 This is just annoying now, I can't read any cache listings, if anyone is listening, please change back to the old format Link to comment
+Maxwell10 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am still running Windows 2000 unfortunately, I don't have the system requirements to upgrade to IE7, so what do I need to do, buy a new computer? Link to comment
+Nozzletime Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I too have the cut pages. IE6 800*600 resolution Windows XP on EEE PC It worked after I downloaded firefox, but that isn't the fix I had hoped for. Link to comment

Deane AKA: DeRock & the Psychic Cacher - Grattan MI We have had an issue since the "Upgrade" in July, where we can't click on links on the left side of the pages and that has yet to be corrected. (We explained what the problem is and even included pictures (screenshots)!) We have decided that when our premium membership expires we will NOT renew. They broke the site for us and can't or won't fix it, so we see no reason to pay. John Link to comment

Must be Raine still has his nose to the old grindstone. That's good news considering that roughly one third of Internet users are still riding the old horse (IE6).

+J-Way Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 That's good news considering that roughly one third of Internet users are still riding the old horse (IE6). And likely won't upgrade anytime soon. A lot of corporations (including the one I work for) wrote custom pages for internal use (intranets, time sheet entry, expense reports, etc.) that aren't compatable with IE7. They really don't want to spend gobs of money to upgrade their software when they can just keep using IE6. Link to comment
+lark78 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 A fix for this is being investigated. Stay tuned. That's music to my ears, thanks Try This I too have had a problem with the profile page being cut in half on my home computer. My work computer shows the whole page no problem. Both computers are using Internet Explorer 6. I checked the work computer's display setting for pixel size and it was set to 1280 X 1024. When I set my home computer to this pixel setting I was able to see the whole page on Geocaching.com. Link to comment
+Maxwell10 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks for the info but that is a big jump from 800X600, will have to break out the magnify glass, hopefully they can still find another fix Link to comment
+ArcherDragoon Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 A fix for this is being investigated. Stay tuned. Thanks... ...and since it seems the majority of posts refer to IE6...I will note that it is also happening on Firefox. Not sure if it has been mentioned...didn't read all posts...but it doesn't seem to be only a IE6 issues...at leasst not form my end of things... Link to comment
+Maxwell10 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 it's good to mention because I believe someone in a similar thread said it worked in firefox..obviously that's not the fix Link to comment
+BrokenLug Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) I have not noticed it on cache pages yet, thankfully, but just about everyones profile page I've looked at are all messed up on the left side of the page.

mikecoup Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The same problem. Some listings edited by HTML are cut in the left when i use IE 6 SP2 and Maxthon 2.1.4 on WinXP. The situation sustains about one week now. I tried to re-edit my HTML listing. But without effect. Unfortunately, my computer couldn't reach 1280*1024 definition. : ( Help... Link to comment
+hairball45 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have no trouble here from the house, and my usual work computer has no trouble either. Both run IE6. A second work machine had the front page, the one with the infamous map of Seattle, all arranged oddly. Screen resolution was at 1280 x 1040, this on a 17" monitor. I would likely be looking for a job if I tried to upgrade the company machine to IE7, which I dislike anyway, so that was out. Changing the font size from "smaller" to "medium" did the trick though. The page quickly re-aligned itself. Might be worth a check if your pages are still messed up. hairball Link to comment

+dnnsgps Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I don't use IE6 or any of the IE's. I use SlimBrowser and it cuts off there as well. This has been going on since early summer. I figure it would get better instead of worse! Sometimes if I refresh it - it comes out OK but lately it does not. Link to comment
+luckycharmer Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm using Firefox and I guess it's working OK since I can't see what you guys are talking about. Link to comment
+trowel32 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm having the same problem, and again, I'm glad its not just me Sometimes the pages are all screwed up but I'll look at the same page later on and it is fine. If you are having trouble viewing them, they look fine on my computer if I read them in "print preview" mode - annoying but a temporary fix. Hope they get it fixed up soon Link to comment

+ventura_kids Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I tried the old method of making the screen letters smaller, and that seems to fix it. The larger sizes of text seem to wrap off the Left side instead of the normal Right side. To change the screen text size - click anywhere in the text on the screen, then Hold the ctrl key down and scroll the mouse wheel one click at a time. Link to comment
golfgunny Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It's not a catasrophe for me, since it's only occurring on profile pages, not cache listings for me. Also, and this may be important: it's only doing it on profiles that have stat listings from logicweave. The stock profiles display fine for me. IE6, Windows 2000 (NT), 1024x768 resolution. Works fine at home on FF and IE7. Link to comment

OpinioNate Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 We have tested and confirmed a fix but we won't be able to release until next week due to some other fixes that need to be verified as well.

+trainlove Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I had hoped to supply brozser version/OS version information for many systems where this occurs, but the nature of public libraries do not let one run 'System Information' in Excel or click screen properties. It has not really hindered me though. If one has a similar problem looking at peoples profiles, just click on any tab that you can see and that fixes it so that all the (missing pushed left) tabs will then be visible. Link to comment

Keystone Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The preceding post was initially added as a separate thread. I merged that thread into this existing discussion, because the behavior shown above is related to the same IE6 issue. (I know, because it affects me at my office computer!) Thanks for the great illustration of this behavior. It is the same thing I see whenever there's a giant-sized image on the cache page. At home, on Firefox, the same page renders just fine for me.
