RESOLVED: Site Layout Issues

[SaintKerrigan]

Does the site layout look weird to anyone else, or is it just me?

[StrangerCoug]

It's not just you. It was displaying fine around 3:00 PM MST today.

[SpyreX]

Mine has also contracted the doom.

I can't even seen the entirety of threads anymore.

[SpyreX]

I did a little more checking - its simply cutting out on pages that have over a certain number of posts. And it looks weird in Firefox all the time and in IE before I log in.

Sooo I'm not sure what happened.

[Mr. Flay]

I don't understand what that screenshot is supposed to be showing (lack of colors?), but I haven't noticed anything funny. And we haven't changed ANY code/files for weeks, AFAIK.

::edit:: Sarnath'd. What do you mean, "too many posts on a page"?

[SpyreX]

If I was at home I'd describe it better.

The colors are off, the reply button is gone, everything is left aligned now and some threads just chunk out after a certain number of posts load (not showing the bottom frame of the page).

I'll SEE if I can get this to cooperate in a second.

[MichelSableheart]

For me, there has been a complete colour overhaul. I'm seeing the same colours as StrangerCoug mentioned, even though I'm on Sepia.

The link back to the forum you were on at the bottom of the page dissappeared, I don't see any buttons above any posts, the row including the user control panel is displayed next instead of below the forum tree, the links to the search, wiki, etcetera are displayed in three lines instead of one.

Using a version of internet explorer, don't remember doing any computer updates lately. Don't remember trouble on different sites either.

[SpyreX]

.... ohh lord and then I post and the colors come back and the alignment changed to centered but the reply button is still gone?

There's gremlins in them thar internets.

Edit:

Now it all seems to be back to normal? What in the hell. I did manage to get a couple screenshots (one REAL good one in FF) if you want to see them.

[Mr. Flay]

Stop drinking the yellow koolaid, kids.

I mean, yeah, post 'em, but if anything it sounds like a server burp. Always try Ctrl-R (or whatever hard refresh is in your browser) when a page fails to load properly... that should save your cache.

[SpyreX]

And, after I posted that, broken again. No reply, edit, alignment and colors off.

I'll attach some screenshots.

During an entire forum session, the problems persisted. After logging out, the site displayed correctly. Immediately logging in again still gave problems, but after logging out and in a couple of times, it now seems to display correctly.

[MichelSableheart]

EBWOPBTNEB (Edit by way of post because there's no edit button): logging out and in, problem returned.

[EDIT] (because the edit button is back): and now the problem's gone again. I'm not doing anything strange, as far as I'm aware.

[Looker]

Everything is gray-colored and the bottom half of majority of the threads I visit is cut off and replaced with <a href language. I tried changing to sepia but not luck and I'm only really posting in here because I couldn't find a way to post anywhere else. Am I screwed or something? I gotta have my Mafia fix.

[boberz]

My layout is not greay instead of blue and I cannot see several buttons (including post new topic and quote) why? How can I solve it?

[Mr. Flay]

Always try Ctrl-R (or whatever hard refresh is in your browser) when a page fails to load properly

[MichelSableheart]

@Flay: it can't really be a cache problem if it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't when you visit the same page, right? This morning on my home computer, I've seen this thread displayed incorrectly, correctly, then incorrectly again. So how would refreshing help?

[vezokpiraka]

I never had this problem.

Could this be something related to location?

[MichelSableheart]

I didn't have this problem this afternoon on university firefox, but now I'm back home using IE and it's back again.

Logging out and back in again seems to fix it after a few tries.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'm noting that mafSepia background fixes the problem.

It's a problem with the mafSilver board preference.

Incorrect. I'm using mafsepia, but just had this problem.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Weird. I switched to mafSepia, and it eliminated the issue for me.

It only appears for me in mafSilver :S

[Haylen]

Sometimes, the forum titles are red to me.

[Seacore]

I'm getting this issue on and off at work, where I get the joy of using IE 6.

I didn't notice this problem at home on Chrome.

I have three issues that occur, sometimes together, sometimes separately.

Words overlapping each other (particularly in PM and Main Forum Index pages), screen in grey instead of the blue default, and pages not loading the whole way. Refresh doesn't always fix these issues.

[SpyreX]

Back home on my normal machine and everything seems fine?

[SaintKerrigan]

Hmm, I just installed the most recent Windows XP update, and so far things appear normal again.

*waits for things to fubar as soon as I make this post*
