Logged into my account this morning to find that the two boxes on left and right of top of page have disappeared. The left one showed my total earnings and losses etc and the right one showed how much I had invested.
All the page contains now is:-
"My Statements
View transaction statements
View tax statement".
Is this only me or a website problem?

Just logged on, mine looks fine (If under a 2% return, and ever escalatingg losses, can ever "look fine").

My summary disappeared yesterday, when using Internet Explorer (yes, I am a small dinosaur). It works OK with Edge - though the numbers are just as bad.

Same here. I wish websites would not always have to use the latest CSS/Javascript and use methods which work. "Upgrading" usually means breaking. It is bad web design practice. Websites should work in ALL browsers and not just the latest that web designers happen to know about. Even the previous one was dodgy, to get the text to show properly I had to resize the browser to a long thin aspect. Now nothing appears. Those of us using more niche sytems cannot update browser every 5 minutes to accomodate the whims of poor web design. Odyssey Browser (webkit) on Amiga OS 4.1.

Having recently updated the website for a small business, I can personally attest to the impossibility of making websites work in ALL browsers. Especially if you add in multiplying factors like operating systems. I don't know what OP was using, but someone upthread mentioned IE ... which is practically impossible to persuade to work fully with modern website design. Which, if you don't use, you will probably be punished for by Google. In the end I managed to make a few compromises so that IE rendered something faintly legible, but that was as far as it went. And, no, I wasn't going to go to the trouble of coding a completely separate page for the miserably tiny percentage of people who insist on using it... </rant>

The simple answer is DON'T continually update sites. If it works leave well alone. Don't touch it. Use CSS and Javascript that has stood the test of time not the latest gizmos.

If your website is intended to attract new customers, then it MUST be highly rated by Google. Google will downrank sites that don't have fresh content. They will also now massively downrank sites that don't work well in mobiles, so if you leave your 10-year-old non-responsive site alone, pretty soon you'll find yourself without visitors.
