EarlG - I normally view on a Samsung tablet with Chrome and last evening at 10:40 pm the top of the screen went

kaplooie - I see the logo, but the Navigate and My Stuff buttons do not show, normally on the right, now centered and below follows a vertical line of letters that ends with the word search, and from there I need to scroll down to see any posts. And the posts do not show properly. I closed by browser and turned off and on the tablet. Any suggestions. Also, I normally view in Skinner mode. Thanks.

Since this has been happening so often with tablets, maybe you should add it to your How To DU OP. highplainsdem Nov 2023 #5

Reinstall Chrome.

Try clearing your caches before all that though.

The issue is caused by one of our files failing to load. On a tablet, refreshing the page should clear out the error and fetch the correct files from our server. In 99% of cases, that solves it. However, on rare occasions the issue persists. If it continues, you may want to try restarting your browser. You could also try opening the page in Incognito mode to see if that resolves it.

If the problem still continues, then the next step would be to try clearing your browser cache. If you need assistance with that, please let me know.

And perhaps make it general to more devices - just suggest a sudden formatting problem could be fixable by clearing cache/history.
