See captured image of the category section of the members reviews page header. The rest of AM appears to be to be formatted correctly but this is a mess.

Win 7 desktop, 32 in monitor displaying at 1360x768, IE 11

I didn't capture the two columns of functions and ads on each side but they are displayed properly.....Just appears to involve the header in the middle section, everything below that appears properly as well.

Found another display issue as well. When using the "My Profile" editing function for "About me" the text is displayed with a jumble of formatting commands. See image capture. Is this just a side effect of importing the database into the new site software and should just simply be redone and saved again or is it a problem with the new software?

Here is the screenshot of IE Edge https://www.screencast.com/t/GPAlRrTv32

Here you can see how it looks in Chrome on that same resolution https://www.screencast.com/t/Lkusssf4L

We will definitively work on optimizing the site for older browsers, but right now all codebase is following latest browser standards which are being implemented in newer versions of IE, Chrome, Firefox. Old browsers are limited on functionality and page rendering, so as time goes they will become completely obsolete.

Using Edge on Win7 requires too many hoops to jump thru (setting up virtual machines) I do have Chrome and do use it when I run into compatibility issues which isn't often. I don't care for the interface personally. I did install Firefox some time ago but didn't care for it at all....removed lol

I refuse to deal with Win10 period, I started migrating my usage to Linux when Win8.1 came out and will ultimately be switching to Linux full time and not be looking back to Microsoft for anything. I would already be there were it not for a couple compatibility issues with astro imaging software.

Yep...seems fine now. Thanks!
