Need Computer Help - This Fodor's website is driving me crazy!
 

I'm so frustrated with something that just started today. In the list of menus across the top on the site, one is called "Trip Ideas". It has just started dropping down everytime I do anything on here, and hides the beginning of the posts. Fortunately, there is a tiny "x" thing to get rid of it temporarily, but it always comes back whenever I open up another post or change Forums, etc. I see that on the list of menus across the top, on the "Trip Ideas" one, there is a little "x" this on it, but not on the other menus.
Maybe I did something to activate this, without meaning to??
Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening?
I usually use AOL (and have pop-ups blocked, etc.). I can also get on this site using AT&T, but the same thing is happening there.

Any advice would be appreciated!

They are talking about this in the Lounge, I just deleted the cookies and history on my computer and that worked to clear it up. The editors were "updating" today.

Thank you, Sue878! I just cleared it up, too, by deleting the cookies and history. It was so frustrating.

Tried all the supposed 'fixes' none of them work for long.
Fodors screwed it up, can't they unscrew it???

It only happened to me once.

Here's the link from the lounge.
I use Firefox Mozilla - the shift + reload fix did it for me.....I hate to delete history and cookies - it makes it difficult on many websites I go to....

The last time I deleted history and cookies I had a huge mess on my hands, only cleaned up last night by the Computer Doctor. No way am I going to delete those all over again!

I think Fodors has corrected this now. My pc is back to normal.

My PC is NOT back to normal.

No, I STILL have it. And I don't want to delete cookies and history either - causes too many problems.
Please, please, fix this, Fodors!!

Me too!!1 Using a Mac with Firefox and its still happening.

Shift held down while clicking refresh worked for me.

It happened to me several times, but seem to have stopped now.

Thanks for bringing this up. I thought it was just me! :D

On another note, the Sony advertisement is annoying as well.

Still all screwed up, are they even TRYING to fix this mess they made?

I just got on about a half hour ago and have been fumbling with it and it's still there!!! I though my computer had a virus--thanks for bringing it up. I'm going to try to the shift and refresh.

I deleted just <u>today's</u> history (mac/firefox) and it cleared everything up. Haven't had any problems for hours.

aargh its happening to me too

I still get the "trip ideas" menu open and when I click to open it that d*mn ad opens. This is annoying. Is Fodors down to THAT level when they need to bother users with pop-up ads all the time?

Yes, it's happening to me, too. Very annoying! When I click on the plus sign next to 'Trip Ideas' the drop-down menu goes away, but it's a pain to be doing it over and over. I'll try deleting cookies and see if that works.
