What's Going On With Chrome and the Stay Informed Menu?

02/25/2016 5:00 AM

Has anyone else got this problem with Chrome of the "Stay Informed" menu obscuring the top of the "engineering Community" page?

Can't even get to the "updated discussions" button.

It's not just Chrome. I get the same on Firefox, under both WinXP and Win7. Can't even get at the "submit post" button if the post's too short.

PS even if you can't see the "updated discussions" button, you can check manually by going to your subscribed discussions (see "logged in" panel, bottom right of window).

I've had it too. If you refresh your screen it goes away, but it is definitely a bug.

Has anyone else reported yet that the mobile version is basically unusable?

Can only see about half of the frame, can scroll up and down, but not left-right, can zoom in but not out, so there are lots (and lots) of things that aren't accessible.

And obvs there's no option of Crtl-anything for reloading/resetting.

(Firefox under Android 5.0.2 - Lollipop, Samsung Galaxy)

This posted from my Win7 netbook.

While it isn't a mobile version, it was still fully functional using Firefox on my Android mobile 'phone, until the recent "upset", which somehow prevented me from zooming out, or scrolling left-right, to be able to see the the full screen, or from tapping on a frame to make the frame fill the screen. I can get some of this functionality using Chrome, but it is not my preferred browser.

No improvement yet on my Galaxy S5 - can only read 3/4 of a post, and can't reply to any. Basically unusable.

Yes I have problems with CR4 screen outlay. I previously posted a picture in a Fredski, What is it? thread, 02/22/2016, 33 posts, 534 views, my post #14. The picture I posted, ( a poster saying VENUS), has been corrupted, (now a angry bird head), not being, the original photo I posted. could it be checked for a virus?

Windows 7, internet explorer.

I think the problem is not with CR4, but on my computer, I once gave access to an internet provider and he said that there was a lot of rubbish on the hard drive and it was only time before it crashed. I clean it regularly, but the odd thing pops up now and then.

Thank you for your interest.

Regards JD.

IE11, Yes. The problem happened after I posted the picture of Venus? I suspect some hidden file on my computer? I see an angry birds head, and suspect I'm the only one that sees it that way?

Another fault that I am getting on CR4, when I select a post, but it does clear when F5 is used.

Any feed back on the above post number 17?, I see a birds head, a post that changed from the original post after a few days, I'm I the only one seeing the birds head?

Regards JD.

Fixed;

(1) Tools, remove programme from Compatibility settings.

(2) Tools, F12, select Emulation.

(3) Emulation, select document mode to "edge".

If you do not remove the programme from compatibility setting, it will keep selecting the default setting. which in my case was IE7.
