What's happening with the 'new posts' page - can't view it properly

[Strangeworld]

Is anyone else having issues with viewing the 'new posts' page? It's all bunched up on one side and totally illegible. Hoping it is fixed soon

 

[Really?]

Yes !!!

thought it was just me….phew.

 

[WoollyMummoth]

Me too, on iPad, weird formatting

 

[vereb]

Yep, since last week same problem for me (Windows desktop, Mozilla). Also same issue with the Crimes-Spotlight on Children subforum, and an occasional thread (very rarely).

Edit: attached a screenshot showing the issue on New Posts page

Yes! Driving me nuts

Each letter is on it's own row, one after the other heading downwards.

I sort of trained myself to read it, but ended up with a huge headache the other day.

Yep - same problem for a few days. Made it so hard to find a thread to post my problem - luckily this one was on the main page.

Yes! I thought it was just me too! Hopefully, it can be fixed soon!!

Same here! The only place I can view the new posts thread properly is on my android phone.

Experience as per comments & screenshot in posts above.
(Seems this fault commenced occuring some two to five
days back).

Whatever the fault is, it's fixable, as evidenced by following
test:
-Saved 'New Posts' webpage as html, (Webpage, complete),
two parts, (file 'New posts _ Websleuths.htm' and file
'New posts _ Websleuths_files' ), saving to my hard drive.
-Opened file 'New posts _ Websleuths.htm' in text editor
(e.g. Wordpad), and 'Select All' text, then 'Copy' text (i.e.
to clipboard).
-Went to Website Html Corrector;
HTML corrector (HTML fixing tool)
and then pasted that copied html text into input box.
-Pressed 'Wash' button on that website webpage.
-Pressed 'copy' button on that webpage (to copy
corrected html text as displayed in output box).
-Went back to text editor (e.g. Wordpad) and pasted
the corrected html into the still open file 'New posts _
Websleuths.htm' over the previous html it had in it.
-Saved (and closed) file 'New posts _ Websleuths.htm'
in text editor (and thereby, in my hard drive).
Result; now, when I double click file (in my hard drive)
'New posts _ Websleuths.htm' , the (saved, offline)
webpage 'New Posts' displays correctly.

Note, some actions described above may have
different names in different Operating Systems.
I'm off to bed, so as yet I haven't figured out what
it is that the Html Corrector website fixes in the
'New Posts' html.

For me, this has been happening when I check "Your content" but nowhere else. Started over the weekend. Posts consolidated into a 3-inch or so column. Not a major issue.

Yup. When I hit "New Posts"

(edit) this is using Firefox with latest update, but it seems to be happening with other browsers per the above posts.
