I don't know where else to turn for input on this. I closed out of Wikipedia last evening - everything was fine. This morning, I tried to access it and the entire page is a mess. The WP Globe and contents selections are superimposed over the page, and I don't have access to the log-in or other such buttons. I tried to access WP via a Google search, and got the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this? How can I fix it? Help!

version? Yes, I'm in full screen. I'm using Internet Explorer, 5.1. This just happened overnight! I've been working in Wikipedia for over a year now. Marc and other same >> thing. >> >> Is anyone else experiencing this? How can I fix it? >> >> Help! >> >> Marc Riddell >>

Yes!! It is working fine now. Thank you very much for your patience and your tolerance. I do realize, now, how outdated the version of Internet Explorer I'm using is. I can also see where it could prove to be a real pain in the ass for developers like yourself who are trying to constantly upgrade the system. I'm really sorry about that. I'm planning to do something about it soon.
