What's up with the forum? Hacked?

chucketn What browser are you using and do you have your screen set to a larger font?
Also, when is the last time you rebooted, cleaned the cache and cookies for this forum?

I'm not seeing a problem but do wish to help you. So, please tell me what browser.
 
I normally use IE11 to view the forum. I can use Firefox, but prefer IE11. I have 2 computers, both running Windows7, both are up to date. Both exhibit the same problem viewing the forum on IE11.
something has changed on your end...
 
windows7 machine with IE is the same \as Chuck's whereas my Windows 10 is OK

regards from somewhere on the Roman Wall:confused:

I suspect a forum software update has made some changes that affect how IE11 displays pages. No other forum has been affected.
 
my work computer is like it too , windows 8 , internet explorer, home computer with Firefox is fine

Admins,
I am running IE 11 and windows 7 as well and have the same problem as reported by others.
Start page chopped off with left half showing project of the month and right half showing posts that can not be fully read.
Seems to me that the start page lay out is not correctly set up and interferes with the todays post page set up.

Looks to me like somebody don't know what the hell they're doing... Or don't care.
I hate having to use different browsers to read the forums.
 
I've not used the forum on regular desktops, but as far as my iPad goes it is terrible, and getting worse. Bout the time the Project of the month went away the pages have been reloading and crashing quite often.
The site did not used to be this way as I've done 99% of my viewing with a iPad. I'm not an app guy and only use the hmem app to download multiple pics for my posts.
This is the only way to post pics, as the desktop version with iPad, will only allow one pic at a time. And one mess up, your starting all over:wall: Seems that most apps are catered to phones but even then they in my opinion are not as inviting as desktop views.
I really like hmem and the knowledge it spreads, I believe the info goes well beyond model building that can often be useful in many other places. So in my humble opinion I think hmem could or should address these small issues to bring back the aura, chi, funkyness, feel, that most of us found here.

Did the technical guys do their job?
Is there one?

If you have to ask your revenue base to change their browser or othewise b***er about to access your site you have ****ed up something Big Style!

I call the members the revenue base because the forum is worth nothing to advertisers (and my private messages tell me it's all about revenue) without useful contributors.

Using some of the revenue while they still have some to pay for adequate support may be a plan, you should be getting hosting free or really cheap if you have a clue, but perhaps the site owners are unwisely paying through the nose for it?
