I’ve noticed for the past couple of days that artifacts and uneven spacing appear on the site when using firefox but not in ie. Is Firefox no longer being supported?

I’m using Firefox (3.0.5) and I haven’t noticed anything amiss.

Nothing has changed from our end, and Firefox 3.0.5 (Windows XP) is working for me.

Third time lucky I guess. I’ve mentioned this problem I’ve had in a couple of threads in this forum.

Using FF3, whenever I try to make use of the icons on the post reply page they don’t work.

I’m using IE now to test this and **look it’s fine** 🙂

Obviously I’ve tried allowing scripts/ cookies. There my knowledge ends.

What else can I try?

Try clearing your internet cache.

Tools/Options/Privacy/Private Data/Clear Now

Then close and restart FF. That can often solve problems.

Yup, clearing the cache seems to have done the trick :o

I thought maybe it was the sdmb since this place was the only one having these problems and the issues were similar to when a website doesn’t support Firefox.  
Thanks for the tip. I thought I had already cleared it but it was just the cookies.
