Webmaster world index page looks broken

Looks fine now (23 minutes later by timestamp). Momentary hiccup?

Some sites seem to love withholding their stylesheets, so everything looks unspeakable until I force a reload. Don't generally see it with this one, though.

Occasionally I get a CSS problem on some sites. Refreshing the page usually fixes the issue.

I saw it too. CSS was just slow loading. Came back okay on a refresh.

Not working here, tried diff browsers, refresh, incognito etc, let's wait.

FWIW the past couple of weeks I've begun having a problem with links on the main page in an older browser I like to use most of the time, I get an unsecure connection dialog instead. The only way to get to the threads is to go to the Forum Index, which still works, and track them down in their respective forum.

Just how old? After a while they start having trouble keeping their certificates up to date; it's one reason I finally had to abandon Camino :(

The internet is the one place it pays to be in the present.

for what is worth, up to date browsers here

the forum's index page

https://www.webmasterworld.com/home.htm

doesn't work for me in the latest vivaldi browser and hasn't for ages (if ever) ... win 10 desktop computer with a big monitor
all other browsers i have it seems to work fine.

topr8 Works for me in Vivaldi, latest version, too.

What do you get when you go to that page?

i get this:

[topr8.com ]

it looks like a mobile or small screen version maybe ... i haven't changed the ua of the browser.

i've flushed the cache, logged in/out ... just seems to stay like that!

this is a desktop with a 28" monitor

Crystall ball says that if you had scrolled down and down at the time of taking that screenshot, you would have found a spam post with an enormously long one-word title in some obscure subforum, forcing the middle column to become unnaturally wide.

no, because it is always like that.
for instance i just tried it again now and it's the same.

I wonder if there's a rogue file broken or missing: Have you tried flushing your cache?
