    Not sure if this is even related to Edge or the internet at all, but thought I would take a stab at seeing if anyone can help.
    I frequent a local website forum and recently something has changed and I am finding it very difficult to navigate the site. I would contact the website itself to see if there's a problem there, but can't even find where to submit a new post now!

    (This is a public forum, so not concerned about any privacy issues) But all those .com's on the left side never used to be there before! Any idea's as to what went wrong?

    First, whenever you wonder if the problem is with the site, or your browser, try a different browser. Edge is my primary but I keep Chrome, Pale Moon and Firefox handy just for such purposes.

    I tried Edge and got what you got above. Then I tried Pale Moon and it is better, but still does not look totally correct. On the left, under 6 News, for example, not everything came through correctly. Firefox is a little better yet - but frankly, I think it is a poorly designed site - and perhaps is no longer even being updated. I say that because the last entry I see on The Unofficial Albert Lea, Minnesota Website is for Nov 19, 2023.

    The forum itself (Albert Lea Discussion Forum) however, seems to be working fine, in Edge too.

    FYI the AlbertLea.com website opens in Firefox without any problems here way down in NZ.

    Thanks all for taking the time to look at this. It now seems to appear better, but nothing like it was before. I am in agreement that it is a poorly designed website. But I believe it to be privately funded, which I'm grateful for. I can live with it this way now at least!
