Get Firefox or some other browser than Microsoft. That is the issue.

Try looking under just NJ as well... (added that tag) I agree, it can be confusing.
Understand that I've been looking for recommendations myself, and am not a source of testimonials. That said...
Adele got a recommendation for Cooper, a year ago... I just queried to see if she had follow-up on how that went.
I believe that was for a conventional/integrated pest management method, (IPM)
The deal with IPM is, you expect several rounds of treatment until it works fully. One time will not do it. The problem is, the devil's in the details; two POCs with identical tools and comparable situations can have very different results, because it takes an eye for detail. Big firms send out different teams, so one crew may be excellent, and another, lackluster... plus, you need to do a lot of your own prep work for it to be really successful ('eye for detail' isn't just their job, it's yours, too...)'Whole-room' or 'whole house' thermal treatment, and/or Vikane are both specialized processes, separate from what the 'normal' run of IPM people can do, and more expensive; again, click on the past posts to see more about the details
I gather we have maybe 3 heat-treating firms able to do NJ--
AAA Superior
Van-Helsing (?)
Cooper, too, I believe... (yes, the same Cooper as above)for Vikane the specialist seems to be
Bed Bugs and Beyond
(this is a tent-and-gas procedure, so it is not feasible for individual apartments or condos. It is strongly toxic, which is of course why it works, but it is supposed to be fully dispersed before reentry... if neighboring houses are separate but very close, however, the procedure may still not be safe. It also has greenhouse gas issues, but that's another thing... )Good luck... we're going to need it, it seems.

Recent versions of Internet Explorer or AOL should be fine. Try to upgarde if you can. Older versions of Firefox should work for people with older hardware that can't handle the recent versions of IE or AOL.

aye, i've been looking at all nj/nyc posts here too..has anyone any experience with bellbedbugs.com?. their ads run regularly on the nj local cable [12] -they use 'dry ice' treatment & claim to be very effective but to me thermal or traditional chem treatment seems like a better logical choice. thanx.
-
btw, a different browser's not an option currently [barely working ancient pc w many driver errors] so i suppose i'm stuck with reading the first 4 lines in each post only..
-
since it seems that quite a few folks have problems w/reading full posts [explorer 6 is still likely the most popular browser] has the webmaster/founder considered switching to a different more common forum format?.i'm on many car/hotrod forums and this one's the only one with such problems. most forums use a different common format [check out www.jalopyjournal.com/forum as one example]..just a friendly suggestion to make it easier for everyone current/new here...i do find this forum here very helpful and hope it'll help solve our bb problem.
hehe, of course i'll only be able to read the first 4 lines of my own post and subsequent replies so i might be writing this uselessly as far as any benefit for myself. -
disregard this one - i've double posted the same text..also i'm withdrawing my 'dry ice' inquiry since i don't think it's what would work for my and my family's places, please disregard it.

I am trying to fix the problem (it's the template, not the software that is the issue, BTW).
According to the site stats the majority of users are NOT using IE6. Most are on IE7, IE8, Firefox or Safari. However, I am still trying to fix it.
If you own your own computer, you should be able to run Firefox and it is free. I understand some people are at school or work where they cannot download new software.

Understand that I've been looking for recommendations myself, and am not a source of testimonials. That said...The best TAG for searching for local services is NJ PCOs:
http://bedbugger.com/forum/tags/nj-pcos(Note: any city or state abbreviation with PCOs following is the preferred tag. I try to add them when I see the need.)

Before I switched to Firefox, I was reading the 'RSS feed', which mostly provided full text, though not in an easily read format.
-

-
bugbittenmeg - i was finally able to read your whole post via rss feed. thanks for the reply, after reading treatment info here in more detail i think vikane treatment sounds like the best bet for my family but we've no sufficient funds currently. will have to save up...
-
nobugsonme - thanks for the e-mail & the effort; even if wasted on me..i've also explained in my reply why the browser option isn't currently for me, & i stand, errrr...sit, corrected re-most common browser here ;)))...the rss feed is a bit hard to read but now i can read whole posts so it'll do..thanx..
