Care to provide some details beyond a question mark? What URL was this seen at? What actions triggered it? Can it be reproduced? Is it still happening?
I might be able to help with that. I just got something that looks similar on the homepage (https://forums.anandtech.com/):

Just disappeared, but I was noticing Ken g6's symptoms. I'd guess I got sent to another Akamai host, or you all fixed it?
 
Odd thing I've noticed a couple times recently. If i scroll down on a thread and then scroll up, the right hand pane disconnects from where it should be and my user display will move up under the search block instead of stopping when it gets to the header area.

And if you click a like button the right sidebar jumps back down.
 
I haven't tried it with the default theme (mainly because I just discovered this button yesterday), but when I use the quick navigation button on the top of the forum, the screen shifts down so I have to scroll up to see the full popup menu. However, it doesn't do this when I open the quick navigation at the bottom of the page.

Using the dark theme, latest version of Firefox in Windows 10

Here's an example of how it looks after I press the top quick navigation:

I've noticed that whatever forum you're in it will place that at the top. In your pic you were in technical forum issues when you clicked in the quick nav.
If you were in the suggestion box that would be the top display.
Seems to only happen with the quick nav button at the top of the page. The bottom of the page link doesn't do that.
This is happening to me with the dark & default themes on Firefox 47.0.1 (guess i need to update)
 
We bring you:

:beercheers::beercheers::beercheers::beercheers::beermug:

my life has meaning again :beermug:

and holy crap--there are now way too many foods! all we need is beer, wine, and maybe cheese.

also, the "emojis" or whatever the children are calling them are too cute. I prefer the FT ones that could be effectively deployed in a more devastatingly mocking fashion. I mean, I don't see one that perfectly encapsulates the depth of scorn that one needs to express when responding to certain posts like the ol standard :confused; or :eyeroll; in FT could convey. 🙁

I believe the emoji sets we're using right now come right out of iOS. It's not the best IMO (I'm a fan of the Android blobs from Google), and we didn't include all of them, but this is one of the more comprehensive sets that we've found. More can certainly be added in the future, but for now, at least there is beer!

No one ever lost a debate using this argument.

A weird result of this: We now have two emoji sets under the Smilies button. But neither set includes the smilies that came with Xenforo at first. They still work, so if you remember them you can use smilies like 🙂, 😀, 😉, 😵, and 🙄. But if you don't remember them they're nowhere to be found.

I'm assuming this is new forum feature, because it happens on my Win 10 devices (Desktop and Surface) as well as my work computer (win 8.1, not updated recently)

Occasionally, I get a chime notification when I submit a post. It is the exact same as the Win 8-10 notification chime, so I went looking for settings in WIn 10 to try and disable it (as that went through a large update last week for many people) but it was nowhere to be found.

I'm using Chrome on all computers but can't find this in those settings, either.

This also occurs on my work desktop, so I'm wondering if this was added at some point in last week's forum patches? I couldn't find such a setting in the user profile settings either. ANyone else getting this and can maybe steer me in the proper direction to shut it off?
Thanks
 
Another day, another Akamai SSL error. Same as the last one I posted on this page. At least this one I can override to see the site.
 
I also get a security warning from my security protection that the certificate from cdn.perfdrive.com is not trusted. This may be a man in the middle attack.

I get this when i type in: "cdn.perfdrive.com" in the address bar
Code:
{

    resource: "Google CDN",
    message: "invalid path",
    code: 403

}

I forgot to note that the little keylock top left is not green but orange/yellow.

Aha, this could be it : Mixed hhtps and http traffic.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/k...-secure-affect-my-safety&utm_source=inproduct

What is mixed content?
HTTP is a system for transmitting information from a web server to your browser. HTTP is not secure, so when you visit a page served over HTTP, your connection is open for eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. Most websites are served over HTTP because they don't involve passing sensitive information back and forth and do not need to be secured.

When you visit a page fully transmitted over HTTPS, like your bank, you'll see a green padlock icon in the address bar (see How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure? for details). This means that your connection is authenticated and encrypted, hence safeguarded from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks.

However, if the HTTPS page you visit includes HTTP content, the HTTP portion can be read or modified by attackers, even though the main page is served over HTTPS. When an HTTPS page has HTTP content, we call that content “mixed”. The page you are visiting is only partially encrypted and even though it appears to be secure, it isn't.
 
Hm, this looks like a bug to me. At the bottom of a thread page, like this one, I only see the page number I'm on, and a prev or next button. I don't see any other page numbers the way I do at the top of the page.
