Thank you kind sir, but I just ran this machine thru every program I have, malwarebytes, ccleaner, spybot, etc. and voila, both Firefox and Chrome are showing all forum options correctly again. I believe it was something in my registry that was messed up.

Thanks to everyone who gave me troubleshooting tips to work through the problem... you guys are awesome!!

Good to hear you're running again but for future reference, although seemingly illogical, I have found when Plugincontainer.exe is running it can cause some pretty strange problems, one of which has been to make replies hang when I click submit. Killing it in Task Manager has worked every time (it also plays havoc at times with FB apps and games).

Give Waterfox a try, it's just like Firefox but built from the bottom as a 64bit version and it's fast. You don't need to worry about bookmarks and saved passwords as it imports them (I still save a back up, Sod's Law!)

I forgot how spoiled Win7 has me.. took a minute to remember where the command prompt was! I ran it just as you suggested, DNS cleared successfully and it took a few to get my connectivity back..............

sorry, cj! i didn't think you'd run it! for future reference the whole sequence, as i do it, is like this

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

which gets you back to connectivity without a problem.

glad you're back in business!
