Firmware problem

I have Qnap TS110 turbo NAS running Twonky mediaserver which I have to update with firmware manually as auto update will not work. In the maintenance page where I go to rescan following adding more files the text has been all compressed to the left in the horizontal list of options alon the top of the page. I can't read what the options are and can only see SQRRR I think it is with all of the following letters in each option overwritten on top of eachother. I have done a firmware update but this has not solved the problem. Anyone have any ideas of a fix or can tell me wich R is for Rescan rather than Rebuild???
Thanks,
K

pictures say it all =)
If you see this icon click it, it while put the page in comp mode
- ie comp view 1.jpg (195.77KiB)Viewed 6632 times
if not, if you see the tool bar click here
- ie comp view 2.jpg (193.07KiB)Viewed 6632 times
you could also manage other sites here
- ie comp view 3.jpg (176.43KiB)Viewed 6632 times

I might be wrong, but sounds to me you (OP) are using a NAS, and I take you are using a Clients(PC) browser?
If so, the sample setting 127.0.0.1 into compabilitymode probably is a bad sample. In that case you must use the IP of the NAS.

- however , if you use v 6.0.37 I believe there is only the HTML menu that are mixed into the header, and that is remedied by adding a simple <p> statement in the corresponding HTML page, just in front of the menupoint.
(counts at least for the windows version)

Good catch/point on the 127.0.0.1
Great remedy with the <p> statement
I cant believe I never took the time to go look at the code =(

Well the <p> issue is reported, but TWsupport appearently don't mind.
It was reported a month ago, together with samples documenting the not working remote-access, but then again. that little problem has long ago passed a year
Unfortenuately my skills don't suffice to find where the webserver renders[rather "not renders"] the localIP.

I havent taken a wicked close look at the html code
But I suspect that the problem is related around the web code returned on a GET is based off of the dlna code returned
that a DLNA client would need to parse through to render things
thus the hard coded lan ip
which there solution in theory should work, why its not, who knows
but I think a middle man web service might do the trick, maybe a quick asp page or something
to re-render an include from the twonky server
Just a guess though
