various browsers having problems might be worth looking into.  My own website, for example, using earthlink is temperamental when I try and edit or even view it using Mozilla Foxfire.  The display using Foxfire is distorted in a way that doesn’t happen with either Google Chrome or IE.  I’ve had certain sites advise me that they aren’t supported by various browsers and suggest others to use.  Sometimes technologies aren’t compatible.  I don’t know if that’s the case here but probably worth the home office checking.  <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span
