Same here.
And finally I thought there was some work out there to grab. Sigh.

OK I see the width thing is a problem this is due to the way IE handles width i.e. not very well I am looking a a solution.

The main page has a width set due to the Server Status box being floated so if I leave it at 100% it drags windows all over the shop.

OK the avatar upload is broken and has been for a while now and has been mentioned four times now.

The half German/half English thing has me stumped, did you set a language setting to German, I did nothing with the language settings.


Thanks for your response - the width thing is fairly cosmetic and I wouldn't be surprised if IE7 is the culprit.
The German thing is a problem I've had on a few sites (including microsoft.com, Skype). These appear to be sites which interpret my IP address as being located in Switzerland and decide that I have no choice but read the pages in German. Notwithstanding the fact that 35% of Switzerland is non-German speaking, I find it a bit arrogant to have websites dictate to me what language I should use (again not your fault!).
I'm using Windows XP in English, my IE is set-up to deliver pages in English. What's really curious about lcathome is the mixture - bits of a page are in German, other bits in English with no obvious rhyme or reason. For example the headings of this forum are in German (Autor / Nachricht). The Message to the left is in German (about formatting using BBCode-Tags), but the Rules are in English.
If you need screen dumps or source code dumps, please let me know.

I couple of minor questions.
1) Any reason why I get most of the pages half in German, half in English?
2) There seems to be a problem with screen width on most of the screens in both the website and the message boards (or Diskussionsforen as it calls it on my screen). I'm using IE7 under WXPSP2 and there always a few pixels missing to the right of the screen, meaning I have a horizontal scroll bar.
Thanks
