There seems to be some missing threads and images around the site, is it my computer or has anyone else noticed this?

Think it must be the way you are looking for them. Made a Pm to one of the Mods sometime back about this.

What were you looking for??

I will try to find it and let you know the URL.

The problem is solved...
There was actual threads missing which still had a time when they where last posted & avatars where missing from members who had posted messages but the message remained.I had installed 'Internet Explorer 8 Beta' & this is what was causing the problem,I have uninstalled now & everything is back to normal.
So heres a heads up...Don't download IE8 beta.
