Over the last week or so, my forum pages have been loading very weird looking. Would love some help with figuring out why. I've tried clearing my browser cache and restarting my browser. I even flushed DNS. Still, the issue persists. Here's a screen shot:

Morning Patrick,

Looks like the stylesheet is either not loading, or is broken. 

Have you changed anything recently in the stylesheet or templates? 

Also is this an intermittent problem or constant?

...and if not - i.e., it is not an error because of a bad change - then try the forum admin > toolbox > housekeeping > reset combined CSS cache.

Reset Combined CSS Cache. I should have remembered that handy option. Nice one. I think it worked but I won't really know until several days from now. The issue was inconsistent. Thanks, all.

Once built it should remain steady but clearly it did not. If problems persist and you are not sure why the cached file becomes a problem then it would probably be worth turning off the cache option (Options > General panel).
