UNEXPLAINABLE!

I hope you will be patient whilst I TRY to explain my various problems.
It was only when accessing my board from a friends puter,that I discovered her view of my board was entirely different from mine..even including colour!(hers was greyish ..along with all other posters evidently..whilst mine has blue headings etc) The whole board was displayed,whereas mine is much larger and has to be scrolled to read the list of topics.When using the QUOTE button,it appears ALL my posters see this chosen quote within a box,separated from the reply.....I do NOT see that! The quote is evident...and my reply beneath it...but it is NOT in a box.Only yesterday,a poster asked me how to change font colour,as ,apparently,one of my posters has RED font..when I went to look..I see his font as black! I asked another friend,who is also an administrator of another successful Proboard,to access my admin area to change the colours,as it seemed I had made some sort of error..and the posters were all up in arms about the colours......HOWEVER....as I had myself seen NO changes..I naturally assumed my changes had taken no effect.It looks as tho I am the ONLY person who experiences these things...and my VERY experienced friend has no explanation to offer me...nor can he advise me about things HE himself does NOT see when looking at my board! I wish he could sit next to me at my puter to fully understand what I am talking about! LOL
Can you suggest anything I can do,to ensure I see exactly the same as all my posters?

Have you emptied your cache/temporary internet files & refreshed the page? Sometimes that helps to actually see the changes.

yes I have done all that sort of thing! I have not got a header on my page either! Fortunately,I can read and post,but these inexplicable things make it very hard for me to administer my board correctly.,as my posters have obviously got a different view of the board than me! lolThanks for the suggestion tho!

Sorry to bother you again Sassa..but maybe you can also help me with another prob which has occured? A friend of another poster has filled in membership details and I have approved him joining.However,he says he has not been given any code to gain access.I asked him to try again,using a slightly different alias,and,again ..gave approval..still no joy.As I have had a few members apply ..whom I have approved too..and they have failed to post..I am wondering if the same things has happened to them|? Any suggestions will be gratefully received!!

that sound like an e-mail problem there

[veeellbee]

if its an email problem...surely other emails would be affected ? Both myself and the poster who hasnt received his code are still emailing as normal.

For your first problem: What browser are you using?

For your seccond problem: What e-mail provider is that member using?
