    Everything looks fine as long as I don't log in. When I do, all avatars and such change into something that's unreadable. What can I do about this ? I will try to post an image of what it looks like if I can figure out how.
    Nope...its all full of blue bars and posts that run together. I can't change the theme when logged in. Help.

    You can post a screenshot by hitting the PrintScreen key. Then you paste into Paint.

    I can't do that. I'm on a mac running OS 10.4.11. None of those options exist. Don't know what paint is either.

    Well, your first mistake was buying a Mac.

    The bbs is all text with no avatars and screwed up formatting.
    Gosh, thanks for the helpful reply Marso. Wanna try again ?

    Man, when you buy a Mac, you've got to know what you're doing with it. Apple-Shift-4, then select an area of the screen with the mouse. It'll write the file as a PNG (God's One True Web Format) on your desktop by default, then you can upload that as an attachment.

    What browser are you running? Have you tried checking the boards in a different one? (This will help narrow the problem down to either something specific to one browser, or your internet settings in general.)

    I can take a screenshot, but there are no options displayed on the bbs that will allow upload. Everything was fine a few weeks ago. Board displays properly as long as I DON'T log in. Running Firefox 2.0.0.16 Have tried Safari and the same problems. Has the bbs been formatted differently ? This problem is NEW. I've not changed any settings on my computer and it's just me here.
    Suggestions ? No, not suicide suggestions, either.

    GOT IT ! Under User CP, there was nothing checked under display mode. I checked "Linear, oldest first."
    Thanks to all. I am back.
