    Getting some weird interface on my handphone.

    Just like the title says...any reason why? Can't seem to correct it.

    Cheers,
    Wabble

      Apple or Android.
      Just looked on my Android and it is normal. Have you had an update on your phone? It might be as simple as that...

        What seems to be going on there is that the stylesheets for the messages part of the page aren’t being loaded, so what you get is the basic HTML rendering of thatsection instead of the one with all the visual bells and whistles.

        Not sure what you can do about that, other than perhaps clearing your browser’s cache before reloading the page.

          I have occasionally had that type of display on most forums. Usually associated with a background activity on the host server. Update or such.
          On occasion a simple power off your mobile then switching back on works if it’s not the host server.

            Wabble, It's the tin foil hat brigade or as they are called in Oz 'Cookers' out to get you.....
            Hope you get the problem sorted soon, as Waspie said a reboot or refresh should sort it out.

              As Jakko says, it looks like the simplified page.

              Clearing the cache should help, or maybe switching to the desktop version and back again may kick it into life?

                Thanks guys, I'll try all the above recommendations. It's an android...I'll be bak....ya and it's a new replacement for the one that got kicked into the drinking bowl.

                Cheers,

                  For the past month I had to refresh to get the interface to look like what it used to be then suddenly a week ago everything went back to normal but I can't use the apps on the bar. I can only do that with my laptop. That's why you'll see names occasionally in bold.

                  Cheers,

                    Apps on the bar? Do you mean these:
                    [ATTACH]501286[/ATTACH]
                    Those are toolbar buttons

                    Look carefully if they’re not greyed out, like this:
                    [ATTACH]501287[/ATTACH]

                    If they are grey, click on the square brackets on the right, which should be blue even when the other buttons aren’t:
                    [ATTACH]501288[/ATTACH]

                    That should get all of them not greyed-out and usable again.

                        To explain: if the buttons are greyed-out, the text field won’t display text as bold, italic, etc, but instead, you’ll have to type the codes for that yourself.

                        bold
                        italic
                        link to the main page

                        That shows up like this when the buttons are greyed out:
                        [ATTACH]501297[/ATTACH]
                        Compared to this when they are not greyed out:

                          I see, so it was on pre IBM mode that spoke in code. :tears-of-joy:
