Hi, has anyone found webrep not showing on normal version of google search hompage ? mine works fine on google chrome searches but doesn't show on normal google searches unless i click refresh, which i never had to do before, and i dont like or use chrome as the text in searches on my laptop is not as clear as the normal version  :( does anyone know if this is a problem with avast itself as i tried my dads laptop with internet security the same as mine and it doesn't work on his either ?
Thanks Bruce

You're using XP and IE8. I'm on Windows 8 and use Chrome.
Guess we'll need to wait till someone with the same OS and Browser as you replies with a suggestion.
Sorry.

This might be a little (if not more) OT, but apparently the WebRep icons don't show up (in Firefox, anyway) if, rather than doing a search directly through Google, you use DogPile or a similar "multi-engine" service which uses Google plus other search providers.

They do show in firefox and in the searches, currently there appears to be a back end server issue where the icon in a web page is greyed out.
