  • Phantom Drop Down list on forum pages

    Opps - I discovered a slight annoyance on the page - it never did this, so I am at a loss as to why it is doing it now.

    For the record, I have tried both logging out and rebooting completely - still having the same problem here.

    On most pages there is a jump to forum drop down list hat exists - however, on my pages, there is a phantom drop down list that appears at almost the exact same spot on every forum page that I visit - and it will not disappear *until* I navigate to the very bottom of the page and the real drop down list shows up in the page.

    Even weirder though it the fact that right now, as I am typing this, the "real" and Phantom drop downs are both there- the phantom approximately 20 pixels below the real one.

    Is anyone else experiencing this strange occurrence?

    EDIT:: My mistake - I thought it does disappear when I navigate to the bottom of the page, but in fact it does not - the forum topic I looked at for verification was long and it had simply scrolled off the screen.

    My specs:

    P4 2.0 GHz (Northwood) with 512 KB L2 Cache
    1.25 GB PC2100 RAM
    dual 200 GB ATA 100 7200 rpm Drives
    nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440 based GA with 64 MB RAM and dual heads
    ViewSonic GS 790 Monitor (18" Viewable)

    Win XP SP1 with all update through Sept 12, 2003
    1600 X 1200 resolution with 32 it true color

    I suspect that the resolution I use is part of the problem, as I remember the old site used to have links prior to entering the portal for 800 X 600 and 1024 X 768.

    Any ideas?

    I used to see this phantom box. What template are you using? From what I can tell, it seems to be an ie problem.

      template? I amy be misunderstanding the question here....

      strangely enough, I was also experiencing win 16 subsystem low memory errors when trying to install Eudora - needless to say, it is gone now, and the phantom is as well.

      I shut the machine down this morning and booted into Lindows, played around a little, then booted back to Xp - all seems fine now.

      Must have been a temporarily glitched dll somewhere that was causing me fits - and it didn't repair on a warm boot - only fixed itself on a cold boot.

      ah well.
