Half the time when I refresh the page, it comes up as normal.
the other half of the time when I refresh the page, it's like the formatting is gone. Blue text, white background, different font, etc.
What gives? I never had this issue before. Ever.

That is just the delay in the style sheet loading. The white and blue look is what the forum looks like with no theme :-)

Sometimes you may need to refresh your browser's cache also..
With Firefox you can do this with CTRL-Shift-F5 or CTRL-Shift-R as far as I know. "Shift-clickrefreshbutton" works also.

To be honest, I've had this issue a couple of times today (more than normal), it seems the CSS-stylesheet isn't loading too well.

It happens to me as well. I've only noticed this with the upgrade to intrepid. I can refresh the page and it loads properly sometimes.

It's likely due to the addition of new hardware. Now we have 2 webservers they both need to read the stylesheet from a shared resource.
I'm willing to bet that it's one of the servers having a delay in reading from the source

It may be browser cache issues as well. I experienced this once, a day ago, and haven't since.
I use Opera, and we all know of Fx's cache issues ;-)

The forums will be going down really quick so I can potentially fix this issue.

Thanks, although I haven't experienced except once :-)
I hope the issue is uncomplicated.

If you are having style sheet issues please hit "f5" in firefox to force a refresh. This should correct the issue for you.

Browser discrimination :P.
I'm pretty sure most browsers use F5 to refresh though (Or you can just press refresh..).

Well, other browsers don't have the problem :-)
(I don't know if that is true, but I know it is true for me)

Ctrl + F5 is a hard refresh I believe, that may work better :)

Some people don't know the issue because they were always on the same webserver that was serving the css correctly. Either way if you have the issue you must force a refresh in order for the issue to be corrected.
