Now the white gap is gone, I must say it's OK. Although it seems to take me away from the forum when I try to join chat. Which is not a problem since I hate chats anyway.

Never been crazy about pop up toolbars, so I likely won't use it, just keep it minimized. But...I can't find this map thing you're all talking about. Where is that at?

If you click the button next to "Discuss" (red one currently saying 16 online) then that will bring up a basic map for you. Then click on See more stats for this site for more maps and things.

If that is too much for you, then go here....

Is there anybody using Internet Explorer who can see the toolbar? It doesn't work in version 8, or at least it does not on my version 8. Any joy for anybody else?

IE6 is absolutely riddled with security flaws. You may want to upgrade!!

Well I think you should all move to FireFox straight away as it shows the internet properly unlike Internet Explorer, is safer and a lot faster too!!

When you install it, it will copy all your favourites across so you wont lose anything!

Get FireFox Now > http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

Nope, 'cause I have no idea what it even looks like and it took long enough to figure this one out. Are you getting a kickback, btw?

Its free!! You can still use Internet Explorer if you like. It only takes a couple of clicks. You know you want to!

Those of you who can see the toolbar, did you get a notification saying "Welcome to NPF check out our new toolbar at the bottom"?? It should only appear once.

I use Firefox and it works fine there although I don't recall seeing that message but maybe I just didn't notice. I just checked in Google Chrome and it loads up with no problems there plus I did get that message.

Odd. Can you see an icon with a person and "brackets" around him. Second icon from the right. Click on that if you can see it to see if the notification pops up.

I am wanting to make sure it is not popping up constantly for people. That would be annoying.

This is how it appears on mine, although normally I would have it with just 'tools' showing.
