Please forgive, if I have got this wrong, but am I the only one with this problem since the new GR changes.
My pages, be it Chat Board, TTF, or any of the others, do not appear adjacent to the Board Summary panel, and I have to scroll along way down to be able to access the first page on each board. This leaves a huge blank space at the top of my pages, which I fear GR will fill with flashing ads.
Sorry if I have not explained it very well.

I don't have this problem Julia. It seems very much like usual apart from the 20 minutes ago etc.,

Thank you ladies for your replies. I thought it was one of the GR changes. Now I know it is only me, or so it seems.
Mildred, I do not have the ads. Was just hoping that GR had not left this space to be filled in by ads.
Now I need to get my screen realigned, and the pages put back in the place they were, underneath the heading, and adjacent to the Board Summary panel, as it used to be.
Many Thanks Again

Hi Julia,
Try 'Compatibility view'.
Go to either 'Pages' or Tools' on the menu at the very top, and make sure 'Compatability view' is ticked.
Not sure if it will help - but I'd try anything!!

Thanks Maggie, I have just e-mailed GR Support, so I'll see what they do. It is wearing me finger out keep scrolling down the blinkin' screen until I come to the actual board page.
Thanks again

I've seen another member mention this problem and I have it too on my desktop computer. My laptop screen is unaffected. Wonder if it is a browser prob??

My missus has the same problem, actual thread display is displaced down and below the vertical ad on the left.with a massive white space where it SHOULD appear

it doesnt seem to be an ad problem on my wifes PC
she is using a Hp w19 lcd monitor (widescreen) was all ok until the latest round of alterations
.ive tried changing resolution sizes but theat just screws the pages up worse..

BTW
my board name appears to be stuck at Bobrot.
although I can change it , and it shows up in my welcome heading,

the previous boardname stays the same!

I have, despite e-mailing GR, had no response, and the problem still persists. I will get repetative stress disorder with me scrolling finger. It's up and down the boards faster than a tarts knickers (hope it's abit warmer where she is, than here)

Hi Shimms, I am not getting ads, it is just an empty space, and my pages are sited BELOW the Board Summary and Icon Legend panel, not ALONGSIDE them.
Patricia, I will let you know the outcome.
