I can’t see anything wrong? The navigation across the top has moved in preparation for something new we are doing with the front page in the next day or so, but otherwise everything seems to be working to me?

Actually, this is what it looks like for me (see attachment).

Using: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20091021 Shiretoko/3.5.3

Is that FF UA string? What actual browser and version are you using?

Working fine for me on Mac/Win IE/FF/Chrome in all latest stable versions.

It’s the regular Linux Firefox, latest stable version 3.5.3.
Everything worked fine until yesterday evening. Since then it’s this screwed. Cleared my cache, cookies,.. and refreshed the site several times, it’s all the same.
Will check it out with my second OS Win Vista later that day. Rather weird, though..

Hey guys,

I asked some friend of mine to play around with some snowboard pictures and the snowboard-review.com logo to create me a decent wallpaper. This is his first blueprint, the slogan is just sucked out of his fingers, so nevermind this one. Anyway, here it goes:

Question: Is it out of any particular reason that the Ride Machete is not listed on the site? Just wondering..

Oh, and I still get the wrecked design whenever visiting the site =\
(see the screenshot already posted above)

Sorry Tobi - missed this - is that the case still? What version of the browser and what URL are you accessing?

Nice wallpaper too :)

THat is exactly what the site looked like when I was using Collette’s mums laptop the other day… she has mozilla Firefox too… I think it’s probably still the case

Concerning the cracked layout:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SUSE/3.5.9-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.9
That’s the version here at the university, at home I didn’t have internet so I didn’t check with the latest FF, yet. But I will post the update as soon as I get home (probably tomorrow).

Oh yeah and I am accessing the site via snowboard-review.com and the forums via snowboard-review.com/forums ..


edit: checked it at home, Version 3.6.3 here, same as before (cracked).

Hottest Snowboards
Want to know what the hottest snowboards are at Snowboard Review? The list below shows the top 10 snowboards with the most views by our users.

But it’s actually the Top 20 I think ;)

Quite right - just trying to keep you on your toes Tobi.

So I used a tool to show browser screenshots in lots of versions, but everything looked okay. So now I just downloaded Firefox 3.5.9 on XP and it still looks just fine :(

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100315 Firefox/3.5.9 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

What OS are you using again? At home and at uni?

Really strange.. can’t explain this phenomenon myself.

Using Archlinux (KDEmod) at home and there is Suse Linux (KDE) running at the university.

I re-read the post Rich wrote some posts above yours and I do not think that the mum he was talking about is actually using a Linux-based laptop.. Maybe Rich can deliver some more informations about that special case?

Okay, actually I figured the problem out.. Please forgive me for not thinking of that possibility before. (Actually I thought I did try it out before, but obviously I missed something..)
Disabling the Firefox Plugin AdBlock solves the problem of the broken layout.

Still, looking at the numbers at addons.mozilla.org with 813.599 Downloas/week for the addon you should probably look for a better solution than turning AdBlock off, though.
