Can't get the dropdowns on the tool bar

Post by George Emmanuel » Sat May 11, 2013 5:53 pm

This is wierd. About a week ago when I log on, the drop downs on the opening page will not work. If I put the cursor over any of the headings, they turn green but nothing happens. Here is the wierd part: If I go to Woody Boater and click on any CCABC topic, it takes me to the topic and shows me as being logged on. I can then view any topic and the drop downs on the tool bar work perfectly. So I tried this: I went to CCABC via Woody Boater, once there I went to Home and decided to log out. It showed me as being logged out. So I closed Explorer, then reopened it and went to CCABC directly and it showed me as being logged in. I still cannot get the drop downs from the Home toolbar.

Any ideas? I did take my computer in for a checkup---nothing wrong. CCABC is the only site I'm having an issue with.

Unfortunately the do not work very well with older version of Internet Explorer. What version are you using?

I've got Windows 7, but I don't know what version of Explorer I have. I would think that Windows 7 is still current? Incidentally, I logged on this evening via WoodyBoater--still can't get there through CCABC

George please do me a favor go to ie and browse to the home page http://www.chris-craft.org/ then press F12 key on your keyboard. This should ring up a window at the bottom of the screen. Near the middle of the screen you will see some like "Browser Mode: IE10 Document Mode: Standard" Please let me know what appears on your computer after "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode"

It shows IE9 for both modes.

Thanks for taking interest in this!
