[POLL] Something wrong with the forums? (everything goes white / CSS not loading)

Force reload both of those and see if it happens again.

Did that and it fixed the "white, white everywhere !" problem, thanks.

I'm using Chrome, freshly updated Version 27.0.1453.94 m.

I had a new issue, though I'm not sure if it's related.

Loaded a new page and it caused all of the borders to disappear. Could see the background image on the website.

EDIT: Yep, just got the white screen a couple more times.

I'm using the latest version of Chrome. I manually removed all cookies, cleared the cache, and I'm still getting strange display problems on a regular basis—white screen or some other form of missing/corrupted formatting. This happens most often when refreshing a thread or subsection.

Using Shift-F5 (refreshes page while simultaneously clearing cache) "solves" the issue.

I may have to take extreme measures...

I may have to take extreme measures...

As of right now, my problem (thread refresh causing formatting corruption) seems to have disappeared. Last night, refreshing a page without clearing the cache caused corruption every time.

If you just did something, it's worked for me.

 

[Blaine]

Aaaaand it's doing it again, though somewhat sporadically.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Ok, if clearing out your cache and reloading doesn't work now, I don't know what will.

 

[Blaine]

It seems to be fixed now. I cleared the cache, refreshed the homepage, forum overview, subforum view, and thread page view multiple times, and all appears normal.

Had the same problem yesterday. As for now it's all cool. I hope it stays that way.

Clearly the solution is to use Maxthon, not Chrome or Firefox or Opera or any of your shitty mainstream browsers.

It broke again for me earlier today for quite some time, but now it's fine again.

This is my last post on the matter, as I doubt reporting in every time there's an issue will be helpful. If there's a recurrence, I'll just tough it out and assume it'll get sorted eventually.

 

[JudasIscariot]

I still get that "forums appear broken" thing on the latest version of Chrome even after pressing Ctrl+F5. It happens at random :/

Clearing cache works until it fucks up again. It fucks up about 4-5 times a day.

Ok, question: All you proles who are having issues, are any of you NOT using adblock?

 

[Blaine]

I'd been starting to wonder if AdBlock or some other extension might have something to do with it, though I can't imagine why it would. Let me disable it entirely real quick.

...The problem persists with AdBlock disabled and after clearing cache/cookies once AdBlock was disabled.

This isn't exactly what my patrician overunderlord asked for, but I figured I'd give it a try and post results anyway.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

We are not alone.

Possible causes:
- server cache issue
- AdBlock issue
- Problem caused by one of the ads
- JavaScript something

personally i find the need to report that it's been a very fucking long time since it last went all white. And that's it not fair. I watch Scarface daily to take heart and revel in nostalgy of similar experiences, but i see that bowl and grow jealous everytime and that makes it all worse. That's not fair.


...oh...he meant the site...yeah...i knew that...

Me.

I have it installed and rpgcodex.net added to the whitelist.

 

[dibens]

I have the same issue, Chrome, not using adblock. Both on home and work computers.

 

[DragoFireheart]

I do not have add block.

 

[Sodafish]

I too have been having this issue a lot with both Chrome and Chromium.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Taluntain - Maybe it's an issue with CloudFlare not having updated CSS files? Anyway to force update those or something?

However, so far, it only seems to be Chrome that's affected.

 

[Taluntain]

It's possible, yea... though it's odd that it'd only happen in one browser. I haven't seen it happen in Firefox. I've cleared the CF cache so if it was due to that, it shouldn't be happening any more now.

Me, happened just a minute ago (when I clicked this thread, coincidentally). Doing the Crtl + F5 trick seems to gave solved it, though. Latest verion of Chrome, 27.0.1453.94 m
