Forum or Computer settings?

[SNuD]

Any propeller heads know why, when I put the mouse over the menu options at the top I don't get a drop down? It works fine on my PC at work but not at home!

try a different browser. I think the menus are java. Make sure you have it installed and enabled.

Yup make sure you're not using an old browser version.
Also does the website finish loading up (look at the status bar). The menus are the last thing to load and if something before them stalls or takes a while, the menus dont work until they are loaded. I'm trying to find a way around this problem but it seems to be specific to PJF.

could be the screen refresh rate

The menus are not java, so dont mess about with settings there. They are CSS, so a duff css file in the cache can mess things up, do a full refresh (Ctrl+F5 in most browsers) and check then, if not, clear your cache fully.

Ignore the above, they are in fact JavaScript. Security software, especially anti spyware software can mess about with they way the menus here work due to the way they are handled (Don't simply turn off your security software!). Also addons in chrome and firefox can mess about with them. And unlikly as you don't sound like the sort of person that use them, but grease monkey and equivalent scripts can play about with they way they work.

If you are using Internet Explorer or firefox, try running them in safe mode - instructions here: http://www.killertechtips.com/2008/04/14/run-internet-explorer-and-firefox-without-addons/

and if that fixes it, it is an addon causing your problems

I had the same problem SNuD

I found that I couldn't log out due to it 
I solved my problem by reverting to the Dana7 theme (tried a few fixes and nowt worked)

I haven't tried to go back to the other themes as I was happy with the Dana7

Not much help but a fix if you need it and don't mind red

Think its Javascript settings, but depends what browser you're using depends on the support. Just did a search for browser support for JavaScript, and google have a nice little page to make sure it's switched on.

As the page says "google ads" are in JavaScript, so if you visit a lot of pages that have missing content in the side it's enabled.

This can be a good thing as your screen won't be full of ads when you visit certain pages, but on the other hand somethings will just not work.

Or as Spud said, change your browser there are loads out there, or maybe your browser just needs updating.

Follow up, read this post at lunch time, didn't realise that Spud had put more info on, as I didn't re-read.
