Hi,

I've switched to Firefox and I'm experiencing a weird problem and HA. I see the forum in a weird display, it's all in a whte background and no quote colours are available. It's kind of a lo-fi version (but it isn't, already checked).

Someone has experienced somethign like that? It's really hard to read, I have to open it in IE

Thanks.

Here Firefox works without any problems

"Problem is at your end, Firefox works fine here"

Damn, so the problem is on my side (I 'hoped' this was a general issue so someone has a solution)... I really don't know what could be the problem, it only happens in this forum, others are displayed correctly.

firefox perfect with HA here too, i can only suggest you try a fresh install with latest non beta to a new directory, if error is the same, i'd ask for help at the firefox forums.

Try the obiligatory cache, cookie, temporary files emptying first before reinstalling.

perfect here also

From the way you described this, I believe that I had this exact same problem. I got rid of it though. What I needed to do was as follows: (only try this if nothing else works):
1) Backup all bookmarks and Firefox settings. Cause in this process, you'll otherwise lose them.
2) Uninstall Firefox.
3) Delete the directory for Firefox in Program Files.
4) In your "Documents and Settings\[Winodws User Name]\Application Data\" folder, look for a Mozilla folder, and in that Mozilla folder, look for one named "Firefox".
If you can't find this directory, search for a directory named Application Data or Firefox, and you can figure out the rest from there. Once you find this Firefox directory, delete it.
5) Reinstall Firefox.

Back when I had this issue (and this was one of several sites that had issues), simply reinstalling did not alleviate the issue.

And I do love Firefox.

jkwarras, could you check to see if you can see the quote block in this post?

http://bbs.kldp.org/viewtopic.php?p=233411#233411

If you can't see "Alphanumeric letters work here too. 1, 2, 3." then you have the same problem as someone in Korea.

edit: test code for blure from bbs.kldp.org

no problems here - xp pro sp2 + firefox 1.0

Really weird, at work with exactly same installation as at home I can see HA correctly (under windows 2000 pro). So, I can see the quote block in the forum kjoonlee.

It seems I'll have to uninstall/reinstall Firefox at home. Thanks for the replies

I was hoping you could check if you could see the quote block at home, but oh well.

I wish you luck.

I reckon this is one of the sites where Firefox is the most popular browser..

My Firefox displays HA like you described when I check something like 'always use my colors' in the General options tab. Did you check that?

@RedFox: I can't reproduce that. It looks lo-fi, but I can still see inside quote blocks.

Quote blocks yes, but no quote colors
NB: avatar images are displayed, the setting only affects colors, so it's indeed different from the lo-fi version.

firefox 0.8 (win32) here, too lazy to update. all fine a-ok.

this is a system-message: 'jkwarras' updated, now joining the league *thumb up*
good decision, isn't it..

I've just checked, and at home I can see the quote block correctly. But HA still doesn't look right

No, I didn't have that enabled

25% Firefox/Mozilla users

Poll ?

Firefox without problems here. I love this browser !

No poll needed. What I quoted is the actual number.

How do you know ? Are there any statistics ?

I'ts possible for us normal user see Hydrogenaudio stats?
I'm a webmaster, an I am courious...

The number comes from the server logs. They are not available.

To make sure:
25% together firefox and mozilla or 25% each ?

Thanks anyway.


Internet explorer < 50%... it would be truly beautiful! We must wait for some more time... cross your fingers and spread Firefox

25% = Mozilla Firefox + Mozilla (standard or other) + any other browser identifying itself as Mozilla (via false user agent reporting), combined.

Luckily, all gecko stats are counted together, so they will include me as a K-Meleon convert as well.

BTW: no problems with the forums as well here (using the same gecko-core as FX 1.0)

Well, the number is on the total of all requests. Which means it's far from automatic the rest is all IE. I did a new search, this time only including "real" people and the percentages relative to that:

MSIE: 50%
Firefox: 36%
Opera: 6%
Mozilla: 3.7%
Safari: 1%
Netscape: 0.7%
K-Meleon: 0.4%
Konqueror: 0.1%

Operating systems:

Windows: 94%
Linux: 2.6%
Mac: 1.5%

WOW!

Folks, I just restarted windows and everything is back to normal I did restart before, but didn't help, but now I'm seeing HA without problems and I didn't reinstall Firefox. My tip: computers are crazy

so if the most active users use firefox and visit the forum 24/7 the percentage would be alot higher...it would be more interesting to just count every visitor once...I'd say, that the people that visit this forum on a regular basis use firefox or at least not IE...

That is what the new stats do, as I explained in the part of my post you cut away...

I see...I thought with "real" people you meant that search-engines or other robots are excluded...

That too

This is why Firefox percentage increased and not decreased.

Firefox renders HA without any problems. Maybe completely un-installing and re-installing firefox will help. Do not install new versions of firefox over existing old installations.

I've come across this problem, or a similar sounding one, very rarely at some forums. Others I know at pabook.net, where I hang out a lot, have reported it as well. I think it has something to do with the page loading before the CSS is read, then the cache keeps displaying the forum in such a way. Usually clearing the cache and restarting Firefox works.

That makes sense. I'll try to clear the cache if I encounter the same problem again. Thanks

Lets bump that number up a little as well as FireFox, eh?

Me too. I use Firefox. I have this problem with HA displayed as all White and you cannot read anything clearly. It was ok yesterday. Today it is this horrible white layout.

So I still have not found out how to correct this problem with HA. I have rebooted. I use CCleaner every day to clear out stuff such as the cache.

I should be grateful if you would direct me how to get back to the regular layout skin.



Late Edit: I tried this once again. Ran CCleaner, and rebooted and guess what It Worked this time Hooray. Thank you for the advice

This could be a problem with the browser loading the style sheet. I've had complaints of white background on sites I've ran on a slow/poor connection. Once I'd included the style sheet into the header (not linked to an external file) it cured the problem. Refreshing sometimes fixed the problem but it was unreliable.

that is exactly it what I experience.
