Did something just change on the forums?

The appearance of the forums suddenly changed in the last hour sometime.

I use a “Stylish” skin to produce a more classic style bu even disabling that the forums look drastically different.

Just in case I rebooted my computer and I tested under two different browsers (normally I us Firefox and I tested with Chrome and Opera) and the appearance is extremely different.

The exact differences is hard to describe since it looks like a totally different forum.

EDIT:
Something else is wrong as well:
I see that there are supposed to be 6 replies but I can only see three. I HOPE this is a software glitch. Otherwise something horrid has happened to the forums, again.

EDIT 2:
Just to let everyone know I can only see the first three replies to this thread so if anyone makes a reply that is directed at me I will not know it. Whatever is wrong is preventing me from seeing new post here including one I made after the first one.

EDIT 3: The forum is now, for me, effectively useless as in no thread can I see more than three replies and for some I only see one reply.

Woah. Just asked for desktop view on my phone, and yes totally different.

I don’t like it. Change it back.

Nope nothing different on my end. Ok, I’m lying.

I turned off my style, changed browser, and computers. Things are different. #-o

Edit: I can’t read any responses after my own. Forums are unusable at the moment.

Just to add: I do NOT like it at all. While that may be my innate resistance to change I do not think so. I had just become comfortable with the changes caused by the upgrade and got everything configured so as to make me comfortable and WHAM another radical change kicks me in the gut. (Or maybe it hit a bit further south than that)

Same thing here. This is very odd, and I really don’t like the way it looks on Chrome on the Mac right now.

7

Ugh. This is nasty. I hope this is just a forum update that’s gone bad, because I can only post, edit my preferences, etc, when using the mobile site on my phone.

I’m seeing the same UI until I click on a discussion at which point the CSS just falls apart. @elan any input? I wouldn’t mind a sneak peak if something is changing just so I can modify my skin accordingly

9

Also can someone post a screenshot for those of us not seeing it

10

Was going to get a screenshot but everything seems back to normal now…

11

I still can’t use the discussion view to save my life. Possibly a CDN caching issue somewhere

12

Not usable in any way. This is not an enhancement… It’s catastrophic failure. Something is really wrong.

Can only use on my Android phone.

13

Wait… now it’s working again on Chrome. Sheesh.

14

Yep, looks back to normal on my end…

Normal is good, I think.
Or maybe:
“I think I am therefore I am, I think. At least I think I must be.”
“Of course you are my bright little star, I’ve miles and miles of files, pretty files, of your forefather’s fruit and now to suit our great computer you’re magnetic ink.”
