Webrep is installed on my browser IE8. I do not see the colored bars in the left hand corner of my browser. i have uninstalled and reinstalled the webrep plug in.
What do you mean by not seeing the coloured bars, are they grayed out or not there at all, if grayed out it could just be a server issue and will probably start working again a bit later and if the webrep bar is not there at all try right clicking at the top of your browser page, is webrep ticked ?
