Hi

I'm going to be carrying out some forum maintenance on Saturday morning from probably 9am onwards, meaning the forum will be offline for a while

Should be back online sometime later that day

All done, let me know if any issues crop up

I've tried the forum at various times today and the stylesheet is all completely screwed up for me. I've tried flushing my cache, deleting cookies, opening in different browsers, etc, with no success. Just tried it on my phone and i'm getting the same broken layout.

However, I can see people have been posting on the board today. So, unless they've mentioned it on another thread (i can't easily use the forum in it's current state to look around the posts) i can only assume they aren't noticing any layout problem?

Can someone else post whether the forum is looking different for them?

When I initially open it it's all messed up but it fixes itself when I refresh. However, on my mobile devices that doesn't work.

I agree, everything is wrong, the fonts, the sizes, the general appearance. Plus the characters are too small and grey over a white background, I can hardly make anything out.

Hmm yes I'm seeing that too when it initially loads, looks awful and only goes away on refresh. I will have to take the board offline and see if I can work out what's causing it

So after going through the changes, I tracked it down to one character I'd missed off.

Hopefully that's resolved it now, but reply on here if more issues crop up

It's still the same way, only fixes itself on refresh. Although I can live with that, that may be a deterrent to newcomers.

Now the color scheme is just all messed up. It's not all out of whack like it was before.

Well I have looked at the forum in Chrome, Firefox and IE, plus on my Android mobile and it's loading fine on all of them now for me.

I can only suggest not just refreshing the page, but closing the tab and opening the site from fresh to prevent cached versions still showing, see if that makes a difference.

I will monitor it again tomorrow, and if there are still problems, I can look at it again Mon night/Tuesday

Had the same problems as the others, but all back to normal for me too, thanks! (I thought the new Apple was causing the problems, but no :-))
