I am using Internet Explorer seven as well. I found that out when using Internet Explorer six, the forum was displayed underneath all the menus right and left. In other words, you would have to scroll down the page to get to it. I found out that it's something to do with the CSS and Internet Explorer six. So if anybody is using Internet Explorer six, I would advise you to update to Internet Explorer seven. Either that, or scroll down the page to find this forum. Not sure why I am telling you this, if you're reading this, you have already done it. Mind you, you might be at your friend's house using Internet Explorer seven or another browser.
