Hi all, For quite some time the SBG forum seems extremely messed up. I have tried firefox and chrome but it looks terrible in either one. Is this something everybody else is experiencing? Screenshot attached. Attachments:

I have seen the same thing from time to time, and it hasn't happened lately. But when that occurs it's not for more than one hour. I don't reboot my PC, I just refresh and it goes back as it should.

AFAICT, that's what happens when the CSS file (which tells your browser how to display the HTML file that contains the actual content of the page) fails to load, for whatever reason. This might happen e.g. if your connection hiccups while loading the page, or when the HTML or CSS file is being updated.

It happened to me a month back regardless which of the three browsers I used. The next day all was well.

That's exactly what is is looking like for me every time I log in. Has been that way for a few weeks at least... always figured it was my computer.

Happened to me too. Lasted for a day, then went back to normal. Not sure that there is anything to be done except wait.

This tends to happen when my internet is unstable. When a page is taking a long time to load, this is more likely to happen

Only when my connection lags. Doesn't happen very often.

Try a different skin option. The header store image is a bit absurd as well and may be messing up tables (code) for some.

Figured. Whenever they added the Advertisement, they probably didn't check compatibility with all configurations of the skin backgrounds.
I'm often wrong but this time I might have been right.

Ok, sorry for being so dumb but what is the "skin"? Not a native speaker here (and not handy with computers either).

Ok, sorry for being so dumb but what is the "skin"? Not a native speaker here (and not handy with computers either). The background of the forum. A skin is usually refered to a difference in appearance for a website or videogame. For example Ryu from street fighter having a Black and Red color swap to his traditional White and Red Gi or even a completely new outfit like a tank top and jeans would be considered a "new skin" for Ryu. Regarding the forum, you can have the "skin" be the new looking forum, the classic looking forum (what I use) or the middle red one that I don't thin anybody uses as it was changed out quickly. I've never had issues with the site using the "Classic Skin" so perhaps that is the best one to use? You can change the forum skin in your profile.
