Front page features and links

Think there is a problem gent's
Click on front page feature and it goes downhill from there!

Same issue happening for me, (has been all week) whenever I click a link to a story/feature on the front page it takes me to a text only version (yet if I go to the corresponding "RE:" thread in general gassing, the story is formatted properly above the comments like usual.

(using IE10)

Ditto on IE8

I'm getting the same issue on IE8 at work as well.

Likewise for me - It was OK at work today???

[brockovrs]

I've just noticed that I have a "switch to desktop site" link in the top left corner of the front page (when clicked nothing changes)

Could it be that the site is somehow thinking that IE is a mobile platform, so delivering the content in a suitable format?

[turbo-ww]

Not sure but it would nice to have some sort of response from the web team after 4 days...

Same here. Regularly (always) on the same pages, features, login page, login successful page.

Anyone else getting the PLAIN TEXT VERSION??

Its only my work PC that does it, Home PC is fine!
Will ask our IT guy lunchtime, I am sure he will find the answer / difference.
Will post it soon as I know
PS Ipad is fine too
PPS think the support team are on Holiday hehe, probably working hard on more important things

Same problem here.

And here...

If you have a browser other than Internet explorer, then try that, should fix your problems.

We've rolled out an IE issue fix.

It should have improved things.

Please do let me know how it's going...

[turbo-ww]

Will do, when I get home from work...

Still having the same problem here. It's fine in the forum pages, but the home page and story pages display in text...

Can you try a Ctrl-F5 please?

[brockovrs]

Tried a ctrl+F5, still get the same issue.

Cleared cookies & web history & then did another ctrl+F5 & still get the same issue.

Works fine for me on safari on ipad/iphone, unfortunately I can't test another browser on the PC as its a work machine.

[brockovrs]

Bizarrely, it now works - In the 4 minutes since I last posted I have changed nothing!

There are a number of different caching systems between you and us. Seems they've all updated. Happy days.

[brockovrs]

Happy days indeed, I can now skive properly!

Cheers for fixing it!!
