Using Explorer 11 (on a Win 8.1 and a Win 10 Computer) with Zen as the style there's missing content on the pages,
Specifically, on the Summary page my Header Image and Top left Custom Island Image are invisible - or sometimes flashing. Using a different style they are visible. Going to any other page besides summary they are visible.
In other pages either the 'print thread' or 'forum options' are invisible.
Any Ideas how to fix? I really like the Zen style...

I am unable to reproduce your issues on your site, everything is loading as intended for me... Do you have a firewall/security program installed that's stopping javascript from loading?

Nothing I'm aware of, but, af far as the header goes, why would that only affect the Summary page?
Also, the same 2 Computers show everything as normal using Chrome and FF
RELATED: I also cannot reproduce your issue. Both my screenshots are from Windows 10. Though, the OS shouldnt make a difference, since HTML/CSS is at the browser level, not OS level.
UNRELATED: Just for the sake of wanting to help with your browser display issue, can you do something about the seizure inducing flashing-rainbow gif animation on the right column? Its not helping to debug the issue at all.
I'm watching the 8.1 Laptop now and there's 4 New Post icons (newposts.gif) that flash 4 times and then the Custom Island image flashes with it, all go out then 4 more 'New Post' icon flashes and then the Header flashes on for a split second...
It's possibly not related, and 3rd party HTML is outside of the scope of forum support, BUT you have some incredibly dirty/incorrect HTML on your site; including an ending table cell tag in your image element as well as missing quotations around elements.

I offer HTML/Development services through VNC Web Services, the provided code here is unsupported and was only supplied to point out misuse of various elements.
Also, you're misusing the alt image element, it's supposed to be alternative text that describes the image for alternative text readers; it is not a place for advertisements. You're likely looking at using the title element vs alt.
Is there a reason you have auto updates disabled in your Edge/IE? It makes it really difficult to troubleshoot anything when current software isn't being run.
Expression Web is Microsoft's current offering in the WYSIWYG arena (the popular but much maligned FrontPage was retired in 2003). For those of you who associate Microsoft with poor web standards compliance, take comfort knowing that Expression Web has a totally separate engine from Internet Explorer and is compliant with a wide range of current web standards. It shares a lot of features with the other WYSIWYG editors featured here, like highlighting code errors and non-compliant code, a built-in CSS editor, and more, it also stands out for features like search engine optimization—offering you tips and ideas to optimize your sites for better crawling and search engine ranking.
I have Expression Web, have had it for years, as well as several other web design software. I just haven't taken the time to really learn how to use it, and didn't know it would make a difference.
I use EditPlus and lookup the proper tag syntax on PHP.net and w3schools; I find WYSIWYG cumbersome as they tend to add more code than is needed, I suppose at least they nest tags properly.
