    I'm not seeing it on my end so it's probably the content delivery network we use. It serves images and such from a server node closest to you, so if the server node serving your computer is having problems this will happen. I'll check in with them and get status, to see if they can resolve it. May take an hour or so before I get anything back from them.

    I find the entire title of this thread to be overtly offensive and racist. I challenge the site director to erase the hate speech, apologize publicly, ban the posting offender, publicly name and shame him, and then step down as site director under public embarrassment.

    Here's what causes this....
    We use a content delivery network (CDN) to sends images and page formatting information to your browser.By using a CDN, your browser can fetch information a CDN "node" closest to you to speed things up.

    Occasionally the CDN adds new nodes, but they don't email their clients to let us know. So sometimes our firewall blocks these new nodes as potential spam crawlers. If you are near that node, your browsing gets messed up.

    Yesterday after seeing this, I checked, and it looks like they updated the nodes a couple of weeks ago. I've updated our settings to match and hopefully you can see everything normally again.

    Mine has been wonky also, using a new iPad mini 6 iOS 15.1 the whole site has been in a different format for 2 weeks or so and the reply section is so small you cannot believe it is where you are supposed to type. I wish I could figure it out as viewing the site like this is very strange.

    I am having the same problem. I thought it was just because I am using Linux but it doesn't work any better with Windows 10.

    This is getting frustrating tracking down the cause. I'm able to fix it when it's reported, but can't seem to nail it down and stop it from happening again. :-(
