Did DU change it's format?
Everything is different for me now. Could it be that I hit a font button or something? The format is stark with no lines or boxes around posts. What can I do to get it back, or is this the new DU?

2. Looks the same as ever to me. If it's only the font that looks
different, perhaps the display font in your browser got changed? :shrug:

9. I've seen that happen

I think the problem is the computer doesn't load the site formating. It can happen when the site is very busy or by accident. It usually goes away on its own.

5. Obviously, the admin's have finally recognized the superiority of freeperville...
and have decided to emulate it!

7. You probably hit a button.
DU has not changed. It's also possibly a cache issue. Try deleting your temporary internet files.

8. Usually, hitting the "refresh" button clears it.

13. The new format is: bash Obama=greatest page, support Obama=unrecced to oblivion
Welcome to the new DU. The GOP's best weapon to spread discontent among Democrats.

16. It happened to me yesterday at my work computer, but not at my home computer. So this morning I
deleted my temporary internet files and DU cookies after logging out. That seems to have solved the issue. Let me know if that works.

17. That has happened to me every now and then
Edited on Tue Aug-30-11 11:22 AM by Raine
then it will usually go away on it's own, if it doesn't powering off then back on will get rid of it. I HATE when it happens, it's harder to read, everything looks so big.

edit: added a word.
