I prefer the old layout. Firefox seems to work better for me with the new old layout than the original one.

OK Jason. I have scanned and all is ok. I had to change the text size to small to get rid of the "Chat Room" overlap. So, I'll give it a whirl for awhile and see if the speed improves any. Thanks so much!
And, I agree about Norton. It's too good at security. It kicks out too many things to the point where it causes as many problems as the viruses do. JMO

Norton 360, in my opinion, is a HUGE resource hog, and not worth the expense. I've had better success using the free version of AVG Antivirus Free and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
If I were you, I'd uninstall Norton completely (which will make your computer a lot faster), then install those two freebies. You might also want to download CCleaner, too, which is another good freebie.
Moving101, on my end the new layout is about 4 times faster than the old. Since you're using IE, have you scanned for viruses and spyware, too?
As for the "Chat Room" link wrapping, I've only seen that on one mobile phone that didn't recognize the smaller font size required for its resolution. Try changing your zoom to 100% (this is located in the lower right of your screen), then make sure that the default "Text Size" is set to "Medium" (this will be under View > Text Size).
Let me know if that helps.

Thanks Bing is the search engine and you are probably right. I have Norton 360 but I know it's not bulletproof. Your the computer wiz thanks for the help. I'll try another search engine in a few and that should tell me if I'm having a problem with internet explorer Thanks for the help and thanks for this site

I like the new layout, but, it is operating slower and freezing up more often. I use IE also. And the "Chat Room" is overlapping into the posts, which is really annoying. Hoping to work through the problems though.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that Bing offers a browser. When I searched for a Bing browser, all I could find was Internet Explorer with a Bing bar installed.
If that's what you have, then it should be just like any other Internet Explorer browser. If you're having problems specifically with IE, but not Chrome or Firefox, then I would highly recommend that you scan your computer for viruses and spyware (which are both more prominent with Internet Explorer, anyway).
If you don't already have a program to scan for viruses and spyware, go to http://www.download.com, and download both AVG Antivirus Free, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Both are excellent freebies.
If that doesn't help, or if I'm wrong about the Bing browser, please let me know and we'll keep troubleshooting.

Is anyone else having problems with Google Chrome? Bing will not log on this site so I switched to Chrome and it worked but now it will not scroll down on some sites. I was on Direct Soft Koyo web site and had the same problem. I downloaded Firefox and it is working OK. I'm just trying to figure out if it's in my computer or something else. If anyone has an idea thanks in advance.
