Grr... this is just a general rant, I don't know what's going on, but for the last week or so every time I check this forum and go to a thread, I can't see the original post, only the replies. Is anyone else having the same problem? Anyone know how to fix this?

In the box where the original post should be next to the post title on the left you should see a button with two up pointing arrows.. Click on that and the post should appear :-) (well it should if the problem is what i think it is!)

I had this problem too. Are you coming from findaphd.com? If you go to postgraduateforum.com you should be able to see it properly.
