Over the past week or more, I am getting an odd formatting of the Forum home page when it loads on my browser. It is text based and looks more like it is formatted for a mobile device. Once I progress beyond the home page, other pages load as normal with proper graphical layout. I use Chrome as the browser on Win8. I cleared the browser cache but this made no difference. Please see screen dump below. You can see from the URL that it doesn't appear to be picking up the mobile version. Is something related to what the server is dishing up, or something unusual about how my browser is requesting the page? The same result occurs whether I navigate to the home page via a bookmark or manually type in the address.

It happens when the connection is slow or disconnected. Refresh will usually fix the problem =)

Try control + f5 whenever that happens.

Tried Ctrl F5, home page still as shown in first post. Also went into Internet Explorer and got the same result (tried Ctrl F5 there also). Once I follow a link to another page, proper formatting returns.

Speedwise, I am using quite a good broadband connection.

Well, over Easter, the home page problem has mysteriously resolved itself.

You had a cache problem. The page loaded and stored in your temporary cache, so when you tried to reload, it reloaded from the cache. At some point, your cache was cleaned out so when you came back to the site, it loaded properly. Depending on your browser settings, the cache may clear whenever you exit the browser, after a set time or when you turn off the computer.

Anyway, glad you are back to normal.
