Firefox and this forum

[wwaag]

I use the latest version of Firefox. Recently, this forum looks like this:



No problem with IE on this machine or Firefox on other machines I have.

Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

Yeah... somehow you have it set to view the site as "Printer Friendly"

See the little icon on the left side of the site under "site layout"

You or someone must have clicked that icon and have your bookmark or drop down addy bar has that mirror in it and you are using that to get here....

The first time i clicked on that link it looked exactly like your screenshot, the second time i clicked on it, it looked even weirder.

This is odd. Whenever, I change the site layout to "default", everything is OK. However, when I change it to "blue", which I prefer, it reverts back to the screen view that I posted, regardless of whether "printer friendly" is selected. Perhaps I should delete the cookie and start over??

Delete cache for sure if you haven't already. Cookies might not help but wouldn't hurt.

[wwaag]

How??

There is another browser out called Flock. It's pretty nice, displays every page that I look at. It's a kind of FF/netscape/IE clone You might try it.

Finally found the clear cache option. It worked. Thanks a lot.

Or it might be enough to just hold in ctrl and click on the refresh-button.

So that's what it is? A 'printer friendly' version of the page(s)? I've had that happen to me a couple of times before - and a good force-reload or cache clearing always fixed it - but I never knew why it had somehow ended up changed to that style. (And since I've never really tried to print a VH page... )

Actually, that's what the page looks like when, for some reason, the browser hasn't loaded the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file for the page. Without the CSS file, the browser has to render the page based solely on the tags in the HTML document, which usually ends up looking like crap if the page relies on the CSS. Reloading the page and/or clearing the cache usually fixes it, as you've found out.

Ah. I thought it might have something to do with the stylesheets, but wasn't sure. So, that's what the site looks like without a stylesheet loaded?

Thanks, guys. I've wondered myself where that page came from. I get it occasionally in IE7. Most times, I just restart the browser and it disappears.

If you're using FF you can go to view>page style>no style and the css will be eliminated.

Generally if you use proper markup a page will degrade nicely without the CSS styling. phpbb3 is perfect example...
