Forum/Chrome issue?

[mjcp]

Just a heads up...

In the past few days I have noticed some issues viewing the forum from Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit).

Symptoms:
Open forum, it opens OK. Click the unread posts and then it sits there, title and nothing else.

Refresh, I see title, plus Quick links buttons etc, but nothing else. I click something like "unread posts" and it sits spinning with a blank page (sometimes a title banner and nothing else.

I have tried with my ad blocker on and off - same issues.

All works fine on the same connection but with Edge and IE.

I shall try with some other machines later on... but seems to be Chrome only on the current machine rather than firewalls/ISP etc.

Marc,

I have looked at the forum with the Chrome browser on W10, two Linux machines (Mint 18 and Fedora) and an Android tablet and I've had no issues with any of them. I think you might have a problem with your particular browser or your machine.

Its like the Forum software hasn't created the whole page... (see attachment - seems a bunch of code is missing...?)

Is there some CSS logic going on? (That's dropping the Body based on a mis-read/mis-report of the browser type)

Marc,

The simple answer to your question is I have absolutely no idea.

I have little if any experience with Chrome as I don't use it. I only have it installed on the OS mentioned above as a test facility for instances such as this. All those installations have it installed with its generic default configuration and they work fine.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Its working for me at home... hey ho!

Glad to hear it Marc.

I should have mentioned in my earlier post that CSS formatting is a server side function and seeing as the site is functioning ok on several different platforms then the problem cannot lay there.

My thoughts were given the lack of code in the server's response, perhaps it was failing to correctly read the browsers report of version etc... and thus serving a half empty/incorrectly built page back...
