Is the board being really strange for anyone else,as in:

some posts having blue backgrounds and black lettering

some posts running to the left and off-screen

just generally some odd colors

things that should be enclosed aren’t

can’t read some poster’s handles at the top of post

can’t read some #s of posts,etc.,etc.

That happens to me periodically, especially when they were switching over to the new software.

It’ll pass.

Every so often, the hamsters eat a bad bit of kibble and they get indigestion. As FilmGeek suggests, they generally just need to sleep it off for a bit.

FilmGeek:

I suppose you’re right.The colors seem to be right,now,and the lines,etc.,but now I can’t access some threads that are over 3 or 4 posts deep. Why the number of reply posts should make a difference is by me,but there it is. As I said,it’s only **some** posts.

It happened to me last week. But it went away quickly.

It sounds to me like pages not loading completely. This may be caused by the server being slow or a slow connection, particularly with a timeout on your browser that’s too slow.

Thanks,everyone. Everything seems to be back on track,at least for the nonce.
