Bad researcher. No smiley - cake for you! LOL

I posted your little problem to the appropriate section of the feedback page, and told them you would be ever so grateful if some kind tech could fix your page..

In the mean time, why not browse around the site.. and you are welcome to hang out at my back porch until your space is renovated

Gee, I've never seen a user page do that before. That certainly is odd.

You could always start a new account, if the blueness gets too oppressive.

Gnomon - time to move on

Go to your "my space". Look at the URL in the Address or Location box at the top of your screen. It ends in your user number U187164

Change this to UserEdit187164?Masthead=1

This should allow you to edit your page. Change those huge numbers for width and height to something more reasonable.

Hi there, Gnomon's idea should work, its just the width and height commands in your table that have a few too many zeros (try taking all of them out.

smiley - cheers

I'm not really here

I don't think you can edit the page in testuseredit, or we'd all be able to change each other's pages...

Researcher 187164, have you got a scroll bar at the bottom of your screen? If you have, then move it over to the right, to see if that helps. smiley - smiley

If you type, ( or paste ), http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/UserEdit?Masthead=1

into the address field, this will open your personal space editing thingy

( I just found out about this, and am now storing it in my GuideML trick bag smiley - winkeye )
