Things on the forums seem to be showing up in Times New Roman. Certain avatars won't load (displaying a white space with "avatar:[troper handle]" instead) and the buttons to put in smileys have been replaced with [smiley name] buttons.

Is this a problem with my connection, with the site, or something else entirely?

And now I'm getting Connection Errors, I really hope I'm not making like six of this topic.

edit: Given that the site was just down for some time. I'm gonna guess it's a problem siteside.

Nothing major, I hope?

That usually happens when the static server hiccoughs, I wouldn't worry.

Yeah, I mentioned in another thread that the forum went all "Times New Roman" on us and noted it to be rather strange.

Also, how long has the site had an entirely white/gold color scheme? Or is that new?

I probably only noticed it now because the buttons are no longer blue but white like the rest, and that definitely only started today.

It's happening again. More format adjusting?

Randomly happening for me, but it seems to have stopped.

I can't see Spain Sun's avatar either, but that's probably non-server-related.

It's a chibi holding a shotgun, if you're curious.

This briefly happened to me too, but it fixed itself as soon as I navigated away from the page. Doesn't seem to be a major issue.

Occasional overloads on the static server, which is where some of the CSS lives.

Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty

Ahhh, that makes some sense to my small brain (I'm not too tech savvy, see) but okay.
