This is the second time I’ve seen it. I’ve been perusing the SDMB and when I go to change forums the titles are all blocked. There’s just and underline where they should be. ---

Not for me…sounds like a receiving error on your end. ---

Haven’t seen that, but I get a “server error” and a white screen every so often. I can back out of it and everything is fine though. ---

That’s one error I’ve not yet been inflicted with. ---

I was getting this too (running Chrome on Vista). Also, I was finding individual posts with missing words … just a blank space where they should be. Highlighting the space wouldn’t reveal the word, but it would show up in the “Search Google For:” option if I right-clicked. Re-launching Chrome seems to have worked for now, as everything has been working for the last day or so.
