A bug in the forum?

Post by Paul G »

Has anyone else had trouble seeing the forum after logging in? For the last couple of days all I have had is a load of circle type images over what was written. Am I doing something stupid?

Mine went sort of 1993 era text based for a few days, and all the emoticons were huge. But it seems to have sorted itself now.

I haven't had any issues with this forum, everything on screen has displayed as it should have.

FWIW mine went `text format` for a time Sat morning but has been (and is) back to normal since.

I found this spooky when looking for East European bits, it`s even got its own Tom. ;)

Well as it happens I was a member on that forum (think it was that one) years back before I got the Capri. My third car was a Lada Samara Flyte!

Not that exact one, but another of that colour and model on an L.

Can't find any of my posts.. not even sure its the same forum.. probably for the best as I was even more of an idiot back then :lol:

Rare now too. There's only 8 Samaras in total currently taxed in the UK.

Forum still not right today but useable.

It happened to me once, but it was fine once I refreshed the page.
It's funny how the issues seem to affect some users more than others.
