Internet dummy here, wondering how to clear the cache in IE? I have the same problem as Stanberry.
I fish for my sanity. If I catch it, should I still practice catch and release?

By the way, Craig started another thread to help address issues here:

How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Craig,
The old version let you go to new post and view whatever you wanted. This version doesn’t have that feature. Is there any way you can program that feature back in.

My eye keeps getting drawn to the photograph in the background. Have you tried playing with a more subdued version of the photo for the background? That may help with font issues that have been mentioned previously as well.

Cool new site design.

New look.

I have no problems reading it :D

But for my aesthetics it's looking too commercial.

A bit of a turn off for me.

If this is what's needed to generate more revenue.....then so be it. :rockon: jon

For those whose browsers are displaying the pages correctly, meaning the text in posts and the index page is in gray boxes and not directly on top of the background image, try checking you browsers menu for a zoom or enlargement function. I've not seen a browser in the last 6-8 years that did not have this function. I am using Google's Chrome browser on a Mac and the function is in the View menu. If you find this function you should be able to zoom or enlarge things just a little and make a big difference. This both increases the text size a little each time you zoom and by making the width of the gray boxes larger in width. Making the boxes wider eliminates some of the excess background image for those that are bothered by it.

This has worked for me on many websites/forums where the width is restricted which is happening a lot these days. I think this trend is due to the increase in small note book computers and tablets like the iPad.

Hope this helps some of you.

Well Craig, much as I like certain aspects of Flash, it has been causing my computer to crash via kernel panics off and on since Sept. of last year. I have to be real careful with flash video, and Youtube has become a much smaller part of my online time. I can opt to have Youtube show videos in h.264 format, but only on videos without advertising. :fireangry: No problems at all until the Flash update last Sept. :fireangry: I'm still not convinced the kernel panics caused by Flash were not the cause of my hard drive crashing in early Oct. either. :fireangry: :fireangry: :fireangry:

While I wish you weren't having to deal with all this, I do know that almost every forum I've been on that went through upgrades has had some issues like these. I am sure you were expecting it.

In Firefox go to View, scroll down to zoom, then click on "zoom in" as many times as you need to. Each time the text gets a little bigger. The shortcut is ctrl and + If I do it 5-6 times it totally gets rid of the picture of David catching a fish in a grass meadow. Man, how does he do that? :lol:
