One my home computer I cannot reply, search, find, etc... anything on the Hartmann discussion board. Also, the screen is stretched and many of the picture icons that posters use are huge, taking up most of the screen. This just started a couple of days ago. I don't have that problem on any other computer, or any other website on my home computer. I've run virus and spyware and deleted suspect files.

Anyone else had this problem before? Any suggestions?

This is a combination of three errors in rapid succession:

• Some people on this site have a custom avatar, the little image that represents themselves. The two worst offenders are are moderators and they should know better, but they use huge images and expect the users browser to resize the pictures down. It is very annoying and wasteful of bandwidth, because with every page load you are downloading a 200k image instead of a 5k image. So for their ignorance we all must suffer.
  Well developed forum software ensures that all avatars are some preset maximum size, but this here software is anything but well developed.
  
• Some people here are using an avatar URL that points to a nonexistent file or one on a server that is offline. This rotten software fails to timeout the request so the browser can finish drawing the window. Certain smart browsers know this and draw the window anyway, but older browsers wrap the window around the aforementioned huge avatars and never get to resize it down. This combination of errors is causing your problem.
  
• What browser are you using? Whatever it is, it is older and unable to handle the errors causing the problem. This results in an unloaded window that is uneditable
  

I might suggest a more modern browser, like Firefox.
