I am running IE6 and recently the helproom pages move mometarily from side to side leaving a grey border. Other forum pages stay in the middle with a blue border.
Anybody else experiencing this ?

I don't think there is a problem with Helproom. Either try a repair click here
or upgrade to IE 7 or IE8.
Failing that try Firefox click here

Had IE8 but it would not activate a button on a site to delete isurance. I thought it was a marketing ploy at first but it deleted OK on another machine using IE7. Tried Googlechrome but it would not play music on sites and even more problems than IE6 on this site.
Update to IE7 did not work after two attempts so back to IE6. Which works fine apart from the Helproom pages.
It is interesting that Newuser007 has the same problem.

Sorry apart from running sfc /scannow as suggested in my link to repair it, I can't suggest anything else except to try Firefox.
You do seem to be having an inordinate number of problems with different browsers, it make me wonder if there is some other underlying problem and again I would suggest a system file scan.

It would seem that a page with links to
click here is running behind the Helproom pages. This is what produces the grey borders and in IE6 the movement. It does not affect any other pages.
In IE8 if you reduce the zoom (bottom right) you can see the page that is running.
It is a pcadvisor fault on their site.

I have asked F.Editor to look at the problem.

There's an ad running in the side borders,

but on my machine it gives no trouble at all - either in IE 8, or Google Chrome.

Jumping may be Adds trying to load, and if you have Add blocking turned on they are trying to load

Forum Editor Is this forced advertsing going to be extended to other pages?
The jumping movement in IE6 will curtail my use of Helproom.

I'm using Opera 10 and have the same problem Grey borders when it should be blue, also scrolling up and down the page is very jerky, BUT when I go to the other PCA forum pages, the problem disappears and this has been like this for a few days now.
All ad content is blocked.



A workaround is to disable JavaScript but this can screw up the graphics of the help page somewhat.

I'm not sure what you mean

by "forced advertising".

We can't run a free-access site of this size and complexity without attracting advertising revenue, so I'm afraid advertising is here to stay, although the ads rotate, so the one you don't like will not be there forever.

This subject has cropped up on a regular basis ever since we started accepting ads some years ago. As advertisers make full use of newer and more complex technologies some browsers will cope better than others. We don't want to have unhappy forum users, and we do listen to complaints about individual ads, but to be honest it might be an idea to upgrade your browser version. Internet Explorer 6 has been around for eight years now.

Forum Editor I regret I did not make my question clear. This advertising which appears to be running in the background and is obviously not compatible with IE6 or Opera 10 causes considerable viewing difficulties to those using these browsers. This is clearly a new venture as it has only recently appeared on Helproom pages and so far not on other pages. Is this style of advertising going to be included on other pages?
It seems of little value to the advertiser as any links to his site are not in the normal way visible. I appreciate that without advertisers or contributors you could not survive.
If you read my earlier postings I have tried IE8 and google chrome and both are not without problems on certain sites.
in order that you can understand the problem this is a link to a short video clip
