Reply to: Why does the forum interface 'go funny' sometimes?

That'll be failing to interpret the CSS properly, and is easily seen if you have a crappy connection.

My connection to the t'InterWeb is indeed very crappy. Especially when it is raining like it is now.

Eventually in my dabbling, rebooting and tinkering, I renamed Firefox's \Cache to be \Cache.Fuckwit and created an empty \Cache and rebooted again.

Sorted. And, by gum, Firefox is much faster.

Maybe 107 tabs is too many.

No problem with FF 3.0.12 on Win XP SP2 here - except the Technojobs skyscraper banner overlapping the emoticons when making a post.

In Firefox I've seen it go all retro, 90s, Times New Roman a couple of times. A refresh sorts it out.

I've seen it on sites with a gazillion CSS files, but never here on CUK (a cursory look at the HTML source says the CSS is presented inline).

Every so often, CUK goes funny on me; the interface plays up. Today is one such day.

bla bla bla

Any ideas?

I've got an idea. Why not become a tester and get paid a tulipload of money for complaining about this while never having to solve the problem?

As I security expert I feel I should warn you of url hijacking. When you experience these said behaviours please check the address bar to make sure it shows contractoruk.com and not some erroneous address. These hackers are very crafty.

Have you tried turning it off and on?

First thing I tried - didn't help (I do get the reference btw)

No problem in Safari on OS X 10.4, or Chrome on Win XP SP 3.

Never noticed in Firefox, but then it was five years before I noticed the CUK Navigation panel on the right.

The only thing I have noticed, which can be irritating, is that when editing a post the full smiley list is not available.

[BrilloPad]

Never happened to me.
