Bit of a strange one this. 
On my home computer (thanks Neil 
) which is running XP Pro Scoobynet keeps not displaying properly. All the buttons up at the top (VIP, Favourite etc) only show up as a (very) small blue underscore, but are still clickable. The New Topic and Reply buttons disappear completely!! 
That made posting this a challenge!!
What I have found just now is that Zone Alarm Pro (free trial) would appear to be the problem. I booted up with it running and didn't get the buttons. Stopped it, refreshed the page and bingo, buttons!
On my laptop, which is running Black Ice on Win2K, I don't have any problems.
So, anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do? (Other than stop running Zone alarm.)
Edited just to prove the button currently exists, and certainly not to correct a spelling mistake, oh no!

At a guess I'd say some of the privacy functions are enable on ZoneAlarm. Don't really know it well (certainly worked with XP/Scoobynet with me in the past), but it's worth checking through the options. Sorry can't be any more helpful than than

I like Scott also run XP pro with Zone Alarm with no problems at all. It may be an inherant problem with the free version. There are quite a few other free firewalls that you could try although I have not tried them. XP does have its own built in firewall which you can turn on but again never used it so I cant comment.
Hope this helps some.

I haven't got the time for some testing right now, but I will have a play later.
