In the forums PM Outbox. The bread-crumbs, Earth / Message Center / Outbox, changes to Inbox when viewing a message in your Outbox. May have something to do with the To: field being changed to your own name, even though it's to someone else.

does it cover in-page text or the left-nav?
And is this in-game or on the public pages?

In-game and and in-page. Like if you explore for 10 turns. All of the turn productions are just hidden behind the banner. If a slow enough connection, you can actually see the text behind the banner before the banner fills in.

k... what browser version and os are you using? that seems odd, it's pretty basic CSS to put the content below the header, so it should be able to do it across browsers (except mobile ones)

Pang: WinXP firefox 3.6... Same issue with IE8.

I also see General Earl's problem after a market sale.

Ok i think i know why ive been complaining about formatting so much.

It seems to be related to the DPI setting in Win7. Playing at 150% was problematic, 125% seems a lot better.

Apparently 150% also means you cant see the mouse in many games including SC2.

So there's no hope for IE6 users? I'm traveling, and the hostels mostly have only IE6, I can't see below the status screen on the main page, so I can't see any news. On the Building page, it cuts off halfway down so I can't build construction sites or even press the button (though enter works).

It's pretty much unplayable like this. If you're not planning (or it's not worth the effort, seeing as how IE6 is no longer officially supported), could there be an option that reverts the view back to the old style (which I assume works)? At least in the short term? My turns are storing up =P

cant you just zoom out on IE? try changing DPI setting to 75% as well

how about getting a portable version of firefox and playing via a usb flash drive?

still think there should be a "alternate display" option that removes all the "fixed" elements and makes the whole page scroll together. would keep the nice, new, formatting, but allow for older or problematic browser users to still be able to play the game.

On the forums...

I went to a thread with 40 posts. On the forums page, it has the title of the thread, and that's it. Once in the thread, there is a link to page 2 and Newest. Shouldn't this be the same on the forums page. You will have to test out when this goes into affect, whether at 41 posts, etc. But it should be consistent throughout.

I think this is another display issue. I was trying to play on IE6 with some advice from others, but the screen never seemed to update. AKA, I explored, and it told me I gained acres and food, but then I went to build, and nothing had changed, I was at the same turns, money and food. So I explored again, and I got a new acreage and different food lost, yet the main menu and building screens had not updated that (nor the header that lists turns/money/food).

Now that the "bonus" link has been added to the menu you can no longer see the "Search" link without shrinking the text. Same issue that was with the "control" link but now that it has moved up search has moved down into the abyss.

With Firefox 4 it looks like the css or something was removed. This just started 2 days ago. No colors or images at all. Generic font. Some links not working, making it unplayable. Forums look the same, no css.

In top players links, the "Sign Up and Play NOW!" link is in the bubble instead of on top of the box under the bubble like it is on the main page and other pages.

When you change your password, on the page that says "your password has been changed" the blue footer is in the middle of the page across the words...

FF4's issue is that it's loading the mobile version of the game. There must be something different about the user agent that ee is being wiggy about.
