Well I am still having problems, I almost don't care about it, but someone brought it to my attention again recently so I thought I would have another crack at figuring it out, unfortunately I don't understand PHP well enough to get there on my own...
So a few more details...
I have 2 sites, one is mainly just for testing, unfortunately its the live site that has the problem ..
grrr.Ok in the forums on the respective sites there are menus that appear when you run the mouse over them, these menu's are ONLY in the forums.
Under Firefox/Opera/Mozilla/Epiphany (what ever its called) these menu's work fine.
In IE the menus do not pop up.
I have IE 6, on winXP with Service Pack 2. (each of the users that have mentioned the problem are in the same boat here - so one test I have not had the opportunity to try is does this effect SP1 users or users of earlier IE versions?)
The site admin at the failing site emailed me to let me know that the menu's do work if you use an anonymizer style service. Which is even more confusing.
Service:
http://www.the-cloak.com/login.htmlI don't mind chopping and changing code, but I don't know what to change as the problem only seems to effect IE users visting one site.
One more point is that IE users make up just under 50% of traffic, its enough for me to want to figure it out, but not enough for me to rip everything out and start again.
I wonder if another pair of eyes might figure this out.
A link to my test site (a working -test- forum):
This one worksAnd a link to a thread on the site that has the problem:
This one doesn'tAny suggestions:
Thanks

If I examine the source of the pages (I realise the server has already done the work by the time I do this) I see some differences:
