Is someone messing with the menus? The IE top menu looks different and users are reporting the top tabs are now gone in Firefox.

SHort story too long:rotflm:.

The only thing that was intented to changes were the two menu entries that point to the changed site policies. After I made the quick changes to those links, I of course tested the links under FF in macx. No problem:icon_thum As I went to test under windows in IE, my wife came home from the dentist and then very loudly asked me what was wrong with Pebbles(Rocky's littermate). She was walking like a drunken sailor and kept falling down and she was clearly very scared.

So we rushed her to the Vet. When we got back, I had forgotten what I had been doing until later and saw the posts about IE, which I, of course, first blew off as a temp file issue:embaresse:embaresse

Anyway, when I tested the issue on IE, the problem was there.

When I went to make the change, I realized I didn't have the DHMTL program running on my machine any more. So I downloaded a copy, installed it and made the changes.

After I started to debug it became clear that we had been using ver 8.x of the program. When I download, I got version 9.0 which had just come out(didn't realize it). After going down several dead ends, I found a version of 8.5 in an old backup. Which I then installed, with the intention of reverting everything to 8.5. I reverted the tabmenu first and found everything working, which of course shouldn't happen:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: only the tab menu should have worked. By this time, it was late for me, so I decided :widea: call it a temp fix.
When I went back to it, I found that were versions of some of the *.js files that were from even earlier versions that hadn't been cleared out. So I did a total cleanup at the 8.5 version and got everything working. Then I updated to the new 9.0 version and everything was still working.:eusa_danc The reason I did that is that with 8.8 we would get no support, plus 9.0 had this new tab menu function which is much nicer than the work around I did originally.

Anyway, for those of you who are maintaing those menus, Please get the new 9.0 version, it's free and the the old install serial number will still work.
