<div class="IPBDescription">Big red blobs all over the place</div> I have no idea what may have caused this. And on every web page I go to, not just the NS boards. My IE is running fine one minute and the next it's all like this. I didn't do anything to have caused this that I know of and if anyone knows how to fix it please help.

Oh yeah, Tech Support Board is supposed to be for NS problems right? Since this isn't an NS problem I didn't think it's right to post it there.

    Looks like all your graphics are corrupted. Try clearing out your temp files, see if that solves the problem. I'll look to see if Microsoft has released a notice about this.

    Edit: I didn't find anything in the Knowledge Base.

    Ouch on the eyes o_O

    Check your IE settings, make sure they do NOT override any colors. The colors on those are not reading from the forum stylesheet at all o_O

    CSS stylesheet borked?

    Clear your cache first. Then do the usual spyware/virus scan dance.

    Then get the hell off of IE and use firefox or Mozilla or Opera or...ANYTHING THAT ISN'T BASED ON THE IE CORE.

    Stop trying to convert him to Firefox. Especially don't spam the thread about it. Just because you like Firefox doesn't mean that everyone does. He wants help fixing his browser, he never said anything about switching browsers.

    Anyway, yeah. Try cleaning the cache.

    Okay, I won't offer a link to a browser that is faster, more secure and more standards compliant to anyone ever again. Because you know, I wouldn't want people to actually NOT get screwed over by most things online, would I?

    The IE core is one of the worst things you can be using. What makes it worse is people perpetuating it by using **** IE specific tags which *require* you to use the browser to get full functionality of the site. The internet would be a much better place if the majority of people switched to something else.

    I recommend ANY browser over IE. I don't care which, as long as it isn't using the IE core.

    You still need IE users, though. Firefox and Opera (which I love) both have just as many security faults as IE. The thing is, hackers are targetting IE users, because they are the majority. In their mind, its "Do I attack Internet Explorer, that is used by a great majority, a good portion of which are ignorant, or do I target the small number of Opera users, who are not only super-intelligent, but incredibly sexy?"

    Not a big fan of Opera myself. A little too bloated, and follows a skewed set of web standards... I prefer Firefox.

    the msn browser is the ie core with an uber-bloated wrapper. i would not be surprised if the wrapper introduced a whole new set of security holes.

    Yes, I know that. I have a copy of it on my computer. It now looks pretty close to every other browser, except for the ads at the top of the browser. Too bad they have to be there. No, I don't want anyone to PM me a key (some have in the past, and I really don't want to go there).

    When I upgraded to the latest version of Opera, it was quite a shock to see all the different bars and tabs in the way of my surfing window. Crazy.

    I've seen firefox before and it was the equivalent to AOL to me, everything just got in the way of what you were actually trying to find. I just want to look at the website I'm surfing on thank you.

    Are you sure you weren't using Mozilla, Scoot? Firefox is pretty bare-bones.

    Mullet you only like ie because the spyware takes too long to download with that dialup of yours. ITs all "Oh its not even worth the week long download.

    In case all the FireFox pimping has made you forget, the original purpose of this thread was to 'help fix a graphical glitch in IE', not 'discuss how big a load of crap IE is' (regardless of how undeniably true that may be). <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
