For some reason my board has become this in IE



Its still working in Firefox.  I haven't made any changes to anything.  It just suddenly started yesterday.

Help please.  Thanks.

I think it was a security update for Windows that caused compression to break in some sites.
You can either turn off gzip compression or I think the latest windows update has this fixed. I run windows update again and see if there are any fixes for Internet Explorer.

Where exactly do I find the gzip compression option?

I just did a Window's update and nothing changed.

You can goto Edit Features and options in your admin section of SMF.
And uncheck Enable compressed output

No problem. I just heard about this happening lately in the news with the windows patch.

My board had the exact same problem. I did the g-zip compression and it seems to have fixed it but I also am going to send a mass e-mail to members to make sure they have the latest windows updates.
