It may not be a "Win 8 issue", however it is a Win 8 "phenomena" with viewing choices which I now understand. Consider topic closed.

I recommend removing the footer portion of your custom background graphic, as this method isn't reliable across browsers.

Here is a dump of the page I was referring to
null You will see the Kiwozkonnections Footer 3/4 of the way down the page. Also had one other thought - this maybe a IE10 issue (which came packaged with Win 8) rather than Win 8 itself.

My apologies if any of this forum is a bit clumsy a) I am not good at forums at the best of times b) I have just migrated from XP to Win 8 c) I don't have my preferred graphics software installed yet - so steep learning curve all round :(
Thanks

I have just moved to Windows 8 and now what was originally the "footer" (in its proper place at the bottom of the page), is stuck 3/4 of the way down the page. I have changed nothing on the Website at all to cause this and believe it probably still looks fine on earlier versions of Windows. Note: I have a friend also running "Coraline" and his background also finishes 3/4 of the way down the page ????
