Particularly the upper part of the WELCOME heading that includes the search function, community, log in / log out, my personal something or other.. they just do not appear at all on my computer.  I just have to kind of guess where those tabs are.  Everything else seems to be ok. 

I have XP, bought my computer in 2007 (Intel Pentium D by powerspec).  I run Internet Explorer 7.

I was just wonder if there is a fixable glitch between the softwares.  I'm not complaining.  .. just pointing this out in case it could be helpful.

    Hmmm we'll pass this along to our tech team, Apple. Just out of curiousity, have you by chance zoomed your screen out? That may be why you can't see all of the page. To check, on your internet explorer browser utility row, look under tools and there should be "zoom" with a percentage next to it -- that should be set at 100 for "normal" settings. If the zoom is not located there, try the bottom right of your screen where there may be a little number with a percentage (should be 100%). You can click that and it should change the zoom for you too. (Forgive me, I'm on Internet Explorer 9 and all of these tools have moved since IE7, so I'm trying to do this from memory! -- Our tech team will probably be more helpful).

    Let me know if this works!

    apple ... I have my 'zoom' set at 125% and can see the whole thing.

    At the top of the screen ... to the left of the 'refresh' and 'stop' buttons ... there is an icon that looks like a ripped in half piece of paper.  It's 'compatibility view' and will adjust for older websites or browsers.  You might want to try clicking on that and see if it does anything to solve the problem.
