Was away on Holiday, has MAIW changed

I am seeing a new logo at the top & a large blank area where the downloads used to be? Then screen shots, is it my PC or what? any one know

MAIW has only updated the look of the front page. Some Internet Explorer users have reported problems with the front page. Our advice is to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, version 8 to see if that fixes the problem while we get it sorted out.

I have the same problem, running vista home premium. But no problem from work with XP Sp2.

Better still go back to the old front page and problem solved.

So far the new page displayed OK in IE8
Now needs to switch to compatibility mode for proper viewing. the left Menu part pushes the middle Part down!

Guys how does it look now? I have checked it in IE7 and FF3 and it looks ok on my end.

Mike switching compatibility mode off again the menu bar jumps into the middle portion again!

However I must say Ireally like the new style!

Dumb question here, what is this "compatibility mode" that you speak of?

Blank Fang · Post by **Blank Fang** » 13 Sep 2009, 19:40

Thats the icon with the 'torn page' symbol. New in IE8 to help when viewing older WebPages.

It looks ok and it's very very nice.

Just looked and got the same result as Blank fang.

spacing is right in compatability mode but the flash image rotator does not work. In normal flash works but drops down the page and the menu list shifts to the right. works fine in FF3.5

I also have the same results as Black Fang and Pete, using IE8.
Thank you Black Fang - never knew about the compatibility icon.

Well to be perfectly honest I'm not sure what to do. I am working from a script that is 3 years old, ancient in today's modern age. I am also writing from pure HTML code, no cheating with Dreamweaver or anything else. I also consider myself a web page novice with this stuff.

If anyone out there has web page design experience and knows how to bring the front page up to the modern age, I'm all ears.

The front page now seems to be working for me in IE8 compatibility mode if I open up a new tab and immediately navigate to the page. If I go to the page from an existing tab then it doesn't

Just downloaded Google Chrome and the front page looks fine using Google Chrome as my browser. BTW, Google Chrome is wicked fast!
