This is happening again. I posted this before, as well as a screen shot and was told you couldn't get it to happen on your end.

Anyway, go to www.CyberTLC.com, click enter, and scroll down to the bottom MESSAGE BOARD part. The NEWEST MEMBER text is unformatted. Sometimes it formats fine, sometimes it doesn't format. I have changed nothing, and have only noticed this after upgrading to 6.5.

Odd, I can't find your CIs any more. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Could you post the direct URL to the page with the CIs? Thanks.

Jimbo posted the direct address.

As you can see, NEWEST MEMBER is unformatted. Sometimes this happens, and other times it is fine. As far as I can tell, there's no rhyme or reason as to why or when it happens.

Hopefully it is still unformatted by the time you check it out, it has been since yesterday...

Thoughts?

No CIs are loading on that page. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

*edit* Fired up IE... the page rendered. You'll want to look into why Mozilla isn't working with your site... We Mozilla users tend to be loud and annoying when a site breaks our browser. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I see the problem... very odd.

I'm willing to wager that the same issue that causes Mozilla not to render the page is also responsible for the style breakage...

Unfortunately, my diagnostic tools to look into the problem are completely tied to Mozilla (the built in DOM exploring tool...)

I have no clue what would be causing Mozilla problems. I only have the content islands embedded into a table, nothing else fancy on that particular page!

Anyone else know what would be causing the Mozilla problems?

Amateur here ;p
... but that said, if you remove the begin comment <pre><!-- Begin</pre> from line 60 of your frame1a.htm page it will be ok in Mozilla I'd guess... or else end the comment thing wherever is is supposed to be ended....

Regards,
Mark.

Tried totally removing that piece of Javascript as well, and that didn't fix it either! Any other suggestions?

Well, the page now displays in Mozilla....
no idea about the formatting though...

I presume you rebuilt it from the CP and stuff?

Well Charles.......if it loads correctly in Mozilla now (according to licksy).......that would mean the bug is not in the code, correct?

And yes, I have rebuilt before many times. This solves the problem for a while, and then it happens again out of the blue.

Yes, I see it now. Very odd. I'll do some debugging on a local copy of the page and try to figure out what's going on...

Also, from what I've seen, it ONLY happens with the NEWEST MEMBER title, none of the others.

I just submitted a ticket regarding a separate issue on our board, and mentioned that maybe you could have a look at our server and maybe figure out the unformatted content islands as well if you wanted. :-)

I think this is related to your CSS. Still looking into.

Also, you might notice at right now it is fixed.

This happens........for a while it is fine, and then all of the sudden it goes unformatted like you've seen.

If it is intermittent like this, it wouldn't be a CSS problem, or it would always be like that, correct?

Also, it only does it to the NEWEST MEMBER title......

I'm sorry, it looks like this slipped off of the 6.6 bugfix list - if you have a ticket open, please reply to it so I can put it back on the list. If you don't have a ticket open for this, please open one so I can find out why this only impacts your board. I have never been able to reproduce this problem locally.

I really need a ticket from you before I can look into this. If I don't get a ticket, I'm going to have to bump this off the 6.6 fix list...

This might be an option you can try...
Check the css carefully. You might have duplicate code in the css, it sometimes changes text after the page is loaded.

But... I think the most likely culprit is references to other css files. (maybe in a ssi file?) I learned the hard way to limit what pages reference css files. I was getting weird text errors by having some pages call to two different files at once. Whichever loaded last is the one that altered the text. If the server was slow, it took awhile to change the text. Hope this helps in some way.

Sorry, I didn't visit this thread until now. I have opened a support ticket.

It still happens, ONLY with the 'Newest Member' title. I'm not using any other CSS on the page.

I don't see your ticket in the queue. Who took it? (The name of the support rep will be on the ticket page.)

Upon upgrading to 6.6.0 beta I have noticed that this bug isn't happening......YET. Sometimes it is fine for a while (with the previous version) and then unformats itself.

I will let you know if it happens now with 6.6

We also have a problem with Content Island formatting.

Our site requires Thai fonts to be displayed whenever the viewer's browser permits.

The CI is set to use the same stylesheet as many parts of our board. This stylesheet works fine, correctly displaying Thai fonts. To dothis, the HTML header insert includes the following:

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-874">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="th">


A working example from the board is as follows:

[]http://www.thailand-uk.com/forum/Files/sample.gif[/]

However, the CI (set to use the same stylesheet as the forum) displays as follows:

[]http://www.thailand-uk.com/forum/Files/ci.gif[/]

Help !!

Javascript can't encode character sets other than ISO-8859-1, so that's probably the source of your problem...

It is still doing fine!

It's been a few days, and it would ALWAYS do it before now. Maybe something that was changed in 6.6 fixed it?
