I can't see any posts in the chat, nor any numbers on the 'steer' page, no names on the leaderboard etc.... on the chat I have the names of people who have written something but no posts as such. I've rebooted and cleared my cache and still nothing is happening.... any ideas?

Sounds to me like a Flash issue. You might need to update. Right click on the Race screen and then on the About Adobe link... if you need to update Flash it will tell you what to do.

Otherwise... clearing your Flash Cache can help.

To do that, on race screen, Right Click and then select Global Settings and then delete.

Have you tried logging on through the SOL Classic Client and then if all is OK, changing the end of the url from ?version=classic to ?beta=true ....

hope hmm or someone sees the links to this thread!

CG has something recently changed on your PC? Such as loading updates?
Might try reinstalling Flash to see if that helps.
Another idea might be just try a different browser such as Chrome.
Typically if you clear the IE cache, and reboot it should clear up.
I've seen something similar once but then it went away. Not sure what happened.

CG,

What is:
- your machine
- what OS do you use
- what browser do you use

Another thought, and not sure if it's possible, but could the font color in the browser or flash be set to the background color. Meaning both set to white?

Just a thought, not sure how that could happen or if it's possible.

What browser? (what OS)? Does it happen in other browsers? Can you select the invisible text, or is not there rather than just invisible? Could you post a Screenshot? have you done anything with fonts recently (added new fonts, or something)?
