    Since the recent merge of Kilkenny City and County forums some regions have gone missing from my drop down menu. I posted a screenshot of the issue in the Kilkenny forum but no one seems to have a solution for me. Am I the only person with the issue?

    South East and West are missing.

    Go to menu preferences (gear symbol on the right hand side) and set it to netbook mode. See if that helps.

    When I set it to netbook mode the missing regions do appear but the text is so small I can barely read it.

    I noticed a problem earlier today with the display of the Region category where everything was in a single column. That seems to have been resolved now though. Is it still messed up for you? Maybe try logging out and then back in again.

    What's the resolution of your screen? Try increasing it. I've found that the beta skin doesn't work well with low resolution screens.

    I've don't any of the south and south-east fora either.

    Interestingly the issue I described seems to be back. I'm on my work computer rather than my home computer but it's the same browser (Opera 11.62). The screen resolution is 1920 x 1200. South East and West are present (just cut off).

    One would assume this would be better suited to site development where they who develop and maintain the site hang out. Have you tried there?

    No, I never knew it existed. Thought this was the place to post.

    How wide is your screen? How up to date is your Chrome?

    You can see that directly under Kildare in the first column is Meath and Monaghan, both of which are not in East, but belong in North East.

    The Region dropdown is a 3 column wide menu, but on your machine it's being squashed down into 2 columns with column 3 (starting with Meath) being pushed over left under column 1. This is why the regions/forums appear to be missing.

    I cannot replicate this issue with an up to date Google Chrome and Windows 7, everything looks fine here. Please disable any Chrome extensions, clear your cache and try again.

    The menu was fine on the machine untill the day of the merge.

    I've disabled extensions and cleared the cache but no joy. I posted in feedback forum couple days ago as I was not aware of this forum and someone over there is having the same issue.

    Same issue on my 2 machines...using chrome version 18.0.1025.168 m.

    2 columns only under region. All entries appear ok on my desktop screen but the entries at the bottom of the first column are missing on my widescreen laptop. Only started happening the other day.

    All you have to do is narrow the window so the drop-down changes shape, I just had the same problem after going from a 21" screen to a laptop.

    Agreed, and there is an issue, but for the moment you can access the list by making the window a bit narrower.

    Yes, access to the list is easily obtained by clicking on Region.

    Fair enough workaround, but it is still a bug. Twas fine until very recently...now broken.

    The beta menu's been "broken" secretly for a long time with that one. It just reared it's head because an exact set of conditions were met when Kilkenny City & County were merged.

    I've got a fix in for it, and have regenerated the menus. If the problem persists, clear your cache (CTRL+SHIFT+DELETE on Chrome)

    Problem persists unfortunately Danny. I've cleared the cache, no joy.

    It was marked as resolved because of the fix I put in. I didn't close the thread in case it didn't resolve it.

    I cannot reproduce the issue in Chrome on Windows x64, Firefox 12 on x64, Chromium on Ubuntu, Firefox 12 on Ubuntu, Opera, Safari, IE9.

    What is your screen resolution, I'll start there but as you can imagine it's hard to debug without a reproduceable use case
