After typing a reply to some messages, I find that the Post button does`nt work because it is in amongst the Opening hours box (in yellow) right down the bottom. Does this happen to anyone else? or is it my computer?

Hey, you are right - something has changed. I'm not having the same problem as you (I'm using Opera), but the behaviour of the page has changed and it is definitely faulty.
The message I'm replying to now slides smoothly down to the bottom of the page, but it ends up overlapping that boilerplate text at the bottom and making a right mess:
Presumably they've installed an update to the software that hasn't been properly tested.

Sorry, the link for that pic is:
Screen corruption

Thanks, Thack. I suppose we have to expect breakdowns seeing this a Royal Enfield board. I scrolled down to the bottom to check if all was clear. It looks like this message will get through.

What browser are you using. I Never have any problems when using Firefox Or Chrome browsers on me laptop only in old versions of IE8 or before as a temp fix try opening site in another browser see if that helps. If I'm using my tablet which is a Samsung 8in slate It gets this problem you described in the standard provided browser so I use Firefox as its the only browser I've found don't suffer from this problem of graphics rendering and layout.

Hi Paul: I am now using Mozilla Firefox. I had this problem on IE8 and Google Chrome. It does not happen every time, so instead of wasting time typing and not being able to post and then losing it all, I scroll down to make sure the Post Reply button is visible first.

Ditto. It seems to have suddenly started happening last night (is that right, Leon?). At least I've never seen it before. Anyway, so far today it's been behaving itself.
I reckon they've been upgrading the software on the server, or something.
