Regularly having this Renderosity interface appearing (see image)

Also, for some time and getting worse, most Renderosity forum advice e-mails are comimg in into theJunk EMail folderfolder (IE 7)?

No similar problems with other forums.

I have not had any renderosity display problems. Beware being linked to a hijacked site!
Try going into renderosity fresh, typing in their address from scratch and see if the problem repeats. IE7 might being recognizing the IP address as something not-renderosity, even though it displays as Renderosity on your screen. Thieves do this to get your info (and $). They then forward valid messages from the stolen site on to the victim, so there is a time delay before they know anything is wrong.

Periodically even staff members have experienced something like that.  I believe the programmers have looked in to it once, twice, or trice?  Typically, whatever the glitch is, it goes away quickly.  If you like, I can report it for you if it doesn't clear up shortly?

Irene-

Thanks, have done that, however I can not see the connection with the E-Mail coming in to the JunkMails folder.

The junk mail problem has existed for at least a month?
The UI problem for, on and off, 4 days?

I had that same display problem a couple of times with IE, which is a lot of the reason I switched to Firefox.  After the switch, the problems went away.

I've posted the issue to the programmers and pointed them to this thread.  I'll let you know if I hear anything about it.   I use IE and have not had that happen.  I believe one of our moderators who uses Firefox has also experienced this, so I don't think it's necassarily browser related.  For the longest time, whenever I went to 3Dcommune after midnight, their front page always looked like that.  I seem to recall it took them a year or more to fix it.  That's probably not a very comforting thought, huh?  :lol:

Irene-

Thanks

One of the programers has suggested that the problem might be due to something with the graphics used in this forum.  Mark is back and said he'd inverstigate it.  Hopefully, the problem will be resolved shortly.

Irene-

Thanks.
It's annoying but if it is not a problem for anyone else, no real ulcer.

 I develop web sites. IE is infamous for having to force developers in to using "workarounds" to get pages to display correctly. The problem is how Microsoft has persistently ignored open standers in the past, like CSS for example, in place attempting to enforce it's own proprietary code. Now they are finally realizing the error of their ways and they are back peddling  to conform to such open standards with new versions of Explorer.

The problem is that so much of the web has been already developed to conform to Explorer exclusively that the newer versions of Explorer need to interpret this old code too, mixed with the new code, in effect creating a slower browsing buggy internet environment.

I read somewhere that Explorer has in fact three layers of interpreter code. One for legacy web sites, the other for transitional sites (when they finally figured out they were making a mess out of the web), the last for full modern open web standards. That is why it's so slow compared to it's competition.

This problem will be with all of us for quite some time. Thanks to MS. Ever wondered why some web sites simply don't work on any other browser then IE? These web sites will ultimately have to be redeveloped to conform to the rest of the industry. A lot of work that will take more then a couple of weekends.

Add to it all the extra inherit insecurity that it brings to the table and you are simply better off using Firefox or some other true open standard compliant browser.

Everything came into the Inbox properly this morning.
And no Interface problem.

 I've had the same problem in Safari on the Mac. Just now, on another thread ("make shaders smaller"), in this forum. I'm not saying it's the Carrara forum at all ;) – I've seen this problem a lot on various OSX versions.

 It seems to be tied to certain posts and isn't site-wide. It may be because some of the posts are using HTML v.s. the message creation widget. Don't know. I'll keep checking it out.

It appears to just be that some posts haven't been broken into more than one line.
The editor wraps long lines at spaces, so it may appear to the poster that there are multiple lines, but if they don't actually press Enter to start a new line, the whole post ends up as a very long line, causing the table to expand to accomodate it, and breaking the fixed size layout in the process.

The Poodoo post  was in my Junk Mail this morning.

I have posts do that on more sites than just renderosity. Usually because of an oversized embedded graphic but sometimes the text is at fault.

Their emails are marked unsafe now.  Not able to verify sender when trying to add them to safe list.  Some webmaster went experimentation on us.
