For about the last week the froums have been acting very strange for me. When I am in a thread and hit the back button to go back to the thread listings sometimes the page loose all formatting and everything is on white background with no color bars and no ads....and most of the top of the page is all text and what looks like formatting scripts to tell the page how it should look. Most of the text is about differetn fonts etc. I really don't know what is happening but it doesn't happen all the time and more in Off Topic that anywhere else. It is very strange.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Ron

It may have something to do with you browser and the way it caches previous images. It may also be related to your video card, the amount of video memory and/or whether your CMOS is set to use main RAM for video caching.

Thanks Harvey, but I don't think that is the problem. It started all of a sudden, and I have a 64 meg GeForce card so I duobt my video card is unable to handle the heavy strain of IE6.

Have you tried to simply reset your internet cache?

Last night I experienced a weird forum (browser?) glitch which screwed up my fonts and even my sig appeared weird. So I clicked refresh 3-4 times, nothing, then I clicked it a few more times before posting in Forum Issues. After about 7-8 refreshes the font went back to normal, for a while there it was weird. I'm thinking it was my problem, not the forums.

This problem will not go away...and I only have it here, I just wish I knew what was causing it.
