    I don't know what's up but the forum is looking very strange ?

    I don't know what's up but the forum is looking very strange to me today.

    Looks nothing like it usually does.
    Cheers,

    Must be me, it's all looking very wrong.

    No idea how to do a screenshot, but I guess it may be OK if I turn it off and turn it on again a la IT Crowd.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Bottom left hand side of the page - there's a drop down menu - does it say "--default style" or "--default mobile style"? Whichever one it's on; try the other one.

    Alt + F4 should fix it.

    Tried that but it just went into an abbreviated version of Vbulletin.

    Still all weird today.

    Don't have a clue what to do.

    At a guess it sounds like you might have JavaScript disabled. Those items are normally available in a JavaScript-enabled drop down menu that is visible when you click on a screen name. If you have JavaScript disabled then it is possible that the site (or your browser) will fall back to showing them as plain links.

    Maybe. Just a guess.

    It's that button labelled 'Print Screen' on the keyboard. Press that - then open any image software (paint will do) and paste into that. There are 'slightly' cleverer things you can do with it too - just doing one window or a single monitor from a multi-monitor set up etc, but this will get the required result here...

    Tried to do it but just keep getting this no matter how small I shrink it..

    The text that you have entered is too long (132603 characters). Please shorten it to 15000 characters long

    BTW, all the other forums I post on (a lot) are all fine.

    It's only TZ-UK that has gone weird.

    Try: 'View', 'Style'...and select 'Default style'.

    If I do that and select 'No style', it reproduces what you're seeing...so maybe you need to do the opposite?

    If you're using IE, then it's at the top...File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help. You may need to tap Alt to get them to display if you have turned off the Menu toolbar.

    I've had pages loading which looked like that in the past (not on here though) when I've had a poor connection and the page has taken ages to display.

    As others have said, it would seem that this is because you're not getting the style sheet for the page. This can happen, as Eddie describes above, because your connection is poor and the style sheet doesn't load in time or because you've unintentionally disabled style sheets.

    Is your connection slow? Do you have any Internet filtering software that might be misbehaving?

    If not and if PickleB's suggestion doesn't work, then I suggest deleting cookies and cached files. This will result in you having to log in to sites again but it's one thing to try. To do this: Go to Tools| 'Internet options' and select the General tab on the 'Internet Options' dialog. Then click the 'Delete...' button. On the 'Delete Browsing History' dialog, make sure that 'Preserve Favourites website data' is NOT ticked and that 'Temporary Internet files and website' and 'Cookies and website data' ARE ticked. The rest can be left unticked. Click the Delete button. Click the OK button on the 'Internet Options' dialog and then close and restart Internet Explorer.

    Has that fixed it? If not, try resetting all Internet Explorer settings. To do this: Go to Tools | 'Internet options' and select the Advanced tab on the 'Internet Options' dialog. Then click the 'Reset...' button. Read the 'Reset Internet Explorer Settings' dialog very carefully and if you're happy then click the Reset button. After the settings have been reset, restart the computer.

    If that doesn't fix it, try using Firefox and see if the problem reoccurs...

    I'm already using Firefox and my broadband connection is one of the fastest around.

    As mentioned previously I'm using Firefox.

    Just switched to Chrome and the forum is working fine.

    Obviously some problem with Firefox - any ideas?

    One website I use frequently won't load in Firefox, I have to use IE or Chrome for that one. No idea why this should be.

    Yep, it's a queer thing Eddie.

    I should have thought of changing over before this thread as previously on another non watch forum I post on the script was minuscule and nothing I could do would change it but altering to FF fixed it immediately.

    I'll just have to do the old switcheroo.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Could be a zillion and one things. I'd suggest disabling all addons temporarily and if that doesn't change things then creating a brand new blank profile in FF and trying that.
