About half an hour ago, I can't view DU properly on my Pixel phone. It's fine on my Dell laptop *FIXED*

Both use Chrome. On my phone, DU shows up as just a long list of links for each folder.

THE FIX, - clearing cache, downloads and cookies from last 24 hours.

I've got it on an iPhone with safari. Chrome is ok on the same phone. CincyDem Dec 2023 #3
See reply 4. Clearing the Safari cache might fix the problem. highplainsdem Dec 2023 #5

I have a pixel and use Firefox, same thing happens on occasion. A screen refresh fixes it.

What works for me, with all the formatting problems I've run into, is clearing the browser's cache/history/cookies. And it might not be necessary to clear all - just clearing the most recent hour or day might take care of the formatting problem and still leave you logged in here and on other sites where you prefer to stay logged in.

Wonder why that happened all of a sudden? First time I've seen that issue.

thanks!

There have been occasional formatting problems with the style sheet not loading going back to February, IIRC. (Yep - see https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217629433 .). It isn't just a DU4 problem.

I haven't run into it anywhere except DU, though.
