The way it currently works is this:
<snip>
I need to recheck a things - after I posted it seemed that the behavior had changed from what I remembered. I'll keep an eye on things and if there's still a problem in my mind I'll follow up.
Hmmm.... that's very strange, and I don't know what the explanation is. Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? One thing - you say that you are using IE 8 on Windows 7, and I don't think that is possible, has to be IE 9 or 10.
One thing you should try is pressing Ctrl+F5 (force refresh). By itself, F5 is a refresh (reloads the page), however Ctrl+F5 also re-loads any linked files that may be cached by your browser.
Not near that machine at the moment and maybe not for a while. It's definitely IE8 (as shipped - I've had it for a few years but I never use it on Win7 - the machine dual boots to XP and that is what I usually use on it.
Can't give a screen print for the moment, but basically there are no buttons or icons/text where the buttons belong, though the"hand" appears when you mouse over where the buttons are supposed to be. Done all the different refresh's etc. but will try again - probably next Wednesday when I'm next in tat office.
