Having problems with HB after wiping Hard Drive

All I see when I log on with that computer is the red snakeskin background and the two black half inch bars at the top of the page

 
Can you post a screenshot perhaps? What browser/device are you using? Have you tried a hard refresh or clearing your cache? Ctrl+F5, usually.

 
Screen shots are Print Screen. Then open up something like paint, paste (Ctrl+V) and save.
Unable to paste. But it's just the header and pebble grain red the rest of the way down.

I do seem to be able to click on the header topics like "schedule" and be redirected ok. But cannot see any topics below the header.

 
In Internet Explorer, try looking under Tools. You should have, under the General tab, a button such as Clear History. Hit it, let it do it's thing, and see if that helps.

Has it worked at all since the wipe?

 
No it hasn't. But it did just prior to. It gave me the choice of doing a partial? Which I opted for this time even though I copied most of my photos and docs just before.

The history was blank afterward so not sure if would benefit me to clear the history but will try when I get home.

Windows XP

If you can't paste into Paint, it's probably because you didn't hit the 'Print Screen' key on the keyboard.

This problem just began happening recently on the exact same setup? Or did you have different browsers before?

 
Print Screen allows me to put it on a thumb drive, but can't seem to paste or even drag it to this box from there.

Not the exact same setup, but the factory defaults. Adding google chrome did allow me to watch youtube videos, but still unable to see any threads on HuskerBoard. Just the Red background under (and) the header.

The bottom of the page indicated "error on page" but I think it always did that.

Problem exists with both the IE6 and the upgrade whereas before reformatting the HD the same browsers seemed ok (not positive which version of Internet Explorer I was using prior to reformatting) but I've since tried it in IE6, IE7 and IE8.

You have to paste it into an image editor, such as MSPaint - not into the box here.

The bottom of the page thing is probably a javascript warning and should be fine.

I also did the more thorough Hard Drive Reformat last weekend (who knew you'd still need to defrag afterward?) and started loading stuff like Google Chrome, testing out HB before and after each add.

 
OK, I re-read the latest and I can't say I have any idea what is going on. Hopefully you get that screenshot working. Do other computers on the same internet connection exhibit the same issue?
