    When you edit a post for some reason it comes up with "Vote now" instead of something meaningful.

    Any reason or has BiT gone all Engrish since Dennis came to dinner?

    It's happened to me occasionally since the forum upgrade. No idea why though - probably just a minor bug in vB.

    happens consistently if you use safari, make a post, go to another page, hit back, and edit your post. been happening since before the upgrade too.

    How come when i try to edit my main post here -> http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=163004

    The first post has the stupid "Advert" across it stopping me from moving my scroll bar from left to right and stopping me form editing my post. This was fine before now im buggerd.

    Infact its screwed up my full posts and a few others that i cannot read any more ..........

    Works fine here. What browser are you using? What resolution do you run at?

    The fix for the problem is spacing your stacks of thumbnail images. IE obviously doesn't handle it well.

    I had this happen yesterday in chrome (which has the same rendering engine as safari) didn't really bother me, the button worked right, just had the wrong text on in. Just thought I'd let you know it affects chrome too.
