adviceplease--You forgot the image.
But if you do not live in the UK that may be the problem.  BBC often blocks content sent to viewers outside the UK claiming that the content has been paid for by UK taxpayers.

Yes I have , still comes up the same, it is local to the machine as it doesn't effect anyone else.

Could it be something cached somewhere that I need to delete?

Did you click on the "change your cookie settings" link?
You have not told us what version of IE you are using but the instructions below for IE7.x are more or less valid for later versions.

I believe its something to do with the style sheet not loading, but I am unsure how to fix this for this one site

well  - you never said if you tried the add-ins, so i'll object

It looks like the style sheet isn't loading; that's probably because it comes from http://static.bbci.co.uk/ (as opposed to http://www.bbc.co.uk). Check your settings to make sure they allow content from a different domain to be loaded (I don't have IE handy, but as I recall, it's in Tools/Internet Options).

Hi ep
 i cannot find the setting you are asking for in Tools/Internet Options
Thanks
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.

Check your security settings. Under trusted sites, add the static.bbci.co.uk URL, and see if that fixes it.

For the record, I don't care about the points. So if a Moderator wants to change this, he can.

ericpete - i only want that the correct post is assigned  as solution
i believe that's what EE wants also
Eric - Netminder

We don't know that. I merely asked the Asker if he had checked the add-ins; there is no evidence that he did. So either 1) he had a setting that kept the style sheet from loading (easy enough to do, if it came from a different domain) or 2) the server that was sending the style sheet was down; or 3) any of a number of other things completely unrelated to the add-ins.

So... there's no evidence at all that you answered the question -- just that he favored a more complete set of suggestions.
