The hostfile is /etc/hosts, but you do not want to delete it entirely. That would likely create larger problems than you're experiencing now.

The thread starter indicates you should be able to "Revert to Default":

You should always be able to 'Revert to Default' putting your hostfile back as it was initially before running this program.
Have you tried that option?

Yeah, I have reverted to default, uninstalled, reinstalled, even deleted what I those was cdn.layer (?) in the host file because I think that's where all of the graphics come from on my other forum, but no luck on any of this.

The hostfile is in :-

/etc/hosts

You should not delete this file but after a revert to default there should only be a few lines in there.

Have you tried temporarily moving your ~/.mozilla folder to, say, ~/.mozilla-old to make certain it's not a MicroB problem you're fighting? If that doesn't help, you can always remove the new .mozilla folder the Maemo Browser creates and move .mozilla-old back to .mozilla.

I did Revert to Default.

It's only showing Nokia-N800-43-7 under Show System.

My forum site is still all super poopy. *lol*

I'll look into your suggestions, sjgadsby. Thank you.

I'm also using Tear if this means anything.

If you're using Tear, than moving .mozilla won't help. That directory is just for MicroB.

I tried going to my site under MicroB and the forum there is almost unusable.

I should take a screen shot of all of the weirdness now.

Give me a minute and I'll post it.

Okay here's a picture of it on my tablet now using MicroB.


Here's what it should look like.
