Having trouble with some websites this morning--formatting is off
Edited on Mon Nov-23-09 10:31 AM by hlthe2b
and they only partially load...

Can others try?
Talking POint Memo: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/
Huffington POst: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ (partially loads but as you scroll down all the formatting is off)
Crooks and Liars: http://crooksandliars.com/


DU is fine, as is the NYT website and daily kos, but I don't know what's up with these other websites, which only partially load and what does load is all screwed up in terms of formatting....:shrug: Anyone else?

1. Have you tried the standard ritual?
Clear your browser cache and reboot your computer?

2. That huge pic on Huff Post is messing up formatting.
The others seem okay, but Huff Post a mess.

4. Try a different browser
Huff Post always looks lousy the way I have my puter set up, but it loads (eventually) and is legible. TPM looks the way it always does, as does Crooks & Liars.

If the other browser works, the one you're using now might be corrupted to the point it's rebelling against any page with a large graphics content. Try rebooting first and if that doesn't work, you might have to reload the browser.

If the other browser doesn't work, try rebooting. If that doesn't cure all ills, then somebody else will have to suggest something.

6. Try using
Mozilla Firefox with an additional adblocker which removes a myriad of completely useless shit.

7. Yes... I do... I have all the Firefox add ons to block scripting, etc.
It is working great now that I rebooted and cleared cache... thanks.

9.  I think C&L ads get flagged by my ad-blocker and various
anti-scripting software... I use AVG Internet Security (along with PC TOols Spyware DOctor) for extra security and their ads flag from time to time. THat probably explains why it is slow to load.
