Strange website formatting

[steveb8189]

Hi there! Not sure if this has been raised before or if it is just me but I have been experiencing some very strange formatting of the website recently. For the past month the homepage looks fine but when I click into a news story I see just plain text with images inserted randomly into it. I was kind of putting up with it but from today the home page is now identical making it pretty hard to navigate around the site...

Anyone else experiencing this?

[steveb8189]

oh, and I'm using IE8 and Windows 7

Work PC so there is nothing I can do about that unfortunately...

[steveb8189]

Very strangely I just read in another thread about http://www.track-days.co.uk/ - is this legit? It works without an formatting issues for me...

I thought Switch had fixed that. We had an IE-only issue. Anyone else having the problem?

I get something like that very occasionally, when the tablet fails to load the stylesheet correctly.

I get this on my work PC. For some reason some of the PH stylesheets have been blocked by our net nanny.

Got IE 8 and today unable to view Home page/Clasified etc.

Forums are as normal, but going to "Pistonheads" gives this strange and unuseable format??

They have a "text" like format which looks like this:

I've got this too. Also in classified, making them unusable.

Come Pistonheads - today is the same as yesterday?? Can't get to any Classifieds etc???

No-ones bothered to explain - despite PMs to your Tech Team yesterday??

Could you try doing a Ctrl-F5 and letting me know if that clears it up?

Sorry, at lunch and missed your request.

Crtl-F5 refreshes the page, but continues to display the same format as I indicated above?

My ver of IE8 allows a compatibility view - but that too doesnt change the view.

HTHs

Glad it's not just me!

Does http://www.track-days.co.uk work for you guys?

Yes, that works fine, however, when you try to view/click on Classifieds it reverts to that scrolling script??

No more checking Classifieds at work then......................8-((

Exactly the same for me - and the forum sends me to the mobile site for some reason...

Any change you can get this fixed guys? It means I'm having to do a lot of PH catch up at the weekend!

It seems that the stylesheet URL has been categorised by McAfee as high risk and malicious.

A colleague at work has submitted a ticket to McAfee to get it re-categorised. (#728971 if you're interested).

[K4TRV]

So today, Mon 8 Jul, I can now view Pistonheads Home Page AND Classifieds

Whatever has changed is GOOD NEWS - thank you MODS

Hope "Others" noew have access too??

Thank you again.

A colleague in my office submitted a ticket to McAfee, and that's what fixed it for us, maybe you too?

Nope, I have done nothing, nor would I wish to with my "Business Desk-top" - just happy I can "browse again!!

No, but if your company uses McAfee on their proxy, this will be what fixed it for you.
