    We have a dinky little lightweight Samsung 10" screen laptop which I brought earlier in the year on a bit of a whim but never got around to using it. Its just been sat in the cupboard until yesterday when I got it out, updated all the softwhere etc etc with a view to taking it with us on our Christmas beak. I logged into the forum and noticed the following issue. The 'Search the forum box' on the top right over laps the My Profile, Settings and more importantly the Log Out area, meaning I had to fire up another computer to log out making it useless for the forum, unless you want to remain constantly logged in ! Everything else seems to resize to suit the small screen and works fine.

    Any one had this before. I checked all the screen settings and opened up other web sites and they all seem fine so it must be a forum issue, any bright ideas.

    It's the screens formatting Ive seen the same on some PCs, tbh I never log out anyway no reason to that I can think of, if someone finds my lost device they can post on my part....lol They may even have something useful to say....lol

    Thanks Arthur, seems the little lappy will be confined to the cupboard again or a new owner via Fleabay, shame as its a cracking little bit of kit.

    I've seen Internet explorer do similar things to websites written on software not wholly compatible with Microsoft edicts. Have you tried other browsers, googlechrome or Firefox?

    Hi FoC.

    Sorry I seem to have missed this one. I guess the laptop is on and old version of IE?

    Go to the bottom of the page and select "2011 style"..............had the same problem and using the old format was the only way I could sort it.
