    I use Edge and have no problems with the text layout. It probably makes easier reading for the moderators scanning messages or necessitated because we are all using different browsers.

    I have all the browsers installed on my PC. Just checked Firefox and MS Edge. No spacing of text. Checked Safari on my iPad. No spacing.

    Hmm, okay, well there goes that theory about it being a browser issue. Whatever is causing this, I hope its fixed soon for those who are having a problem with it. *Hugs*

    This only started happening a week or so ago when the other forum instability issues were fixed. It almost can't be intentional.

    Did you also notice that your post count is cut off by your forum avatar?

    My post count is private, why do you need to know this information? >:):p

    Yes, I know but every time I try to resize my avatar it ends up looking worse so I gave up some time ago. I'll make a new, smaller one maybe one of these days.

    Yes, that's the time it starrted; and it isn't happening to me anywhere else, so I don't think it's browser related to each individual ( ie - "Just Me" syndrome :D )
    It surely has to be something that's gone awry here. ESO forums use Vanilla boards as well, and everything is as normal over there. And it isn't happening to me on phpbb , smf, or any other forum software.
    It's just this board.

    To those having firefox and not the issue, could you post your version of firefox? I recently reinstalled my laptop and thus the newest firefox, and maybe that also makes a difference!
  • TadOlsonTadOlson Posts: 11,380 Member
    I've been having the issues on occasions recently and I'm on Firefox v39 which is the most recent stable version on my computer as later ones resulted in browser glitches.

    Is the forum undergoing downtime again? I'm getting server errors. Is it because of where the servers are located?

    Just a thought, but if these forums' servers are being hosted from the Eastern Seaboard of the US, than I can understand why they've been acting up all of a sudden. They only just started acting up on the day a hurricane was hitting the US Eastern Coast.

    Vanilla Forums Company who EA uses as their hosting service is in Canada and EA themselves is on the West Coast of the USA. It just might be a site glitch.

    I've been getting blank pages sometimes instead of what I should be getting and I just use a reloadskip cache extension to relaod the page when that happens.

    @EA_Mage I hope the forum folks are back to work today. Still getting errors and blank pages and the strange double spacing. Can you or your other mods make sure they are aware it is still going on. Lots of simmers on one of the sims 3 threads are complaining of the same things. Appreciate it.

    I'm getting some forum errors again today, some blank white pages and other times it throws me into off topic despite being in another category. :neutral:
