I'm seeing the same thing. Little red circles all arranged in rows so you can't read the topics.
Using apple and chrome.
Have you done a hard refresh using shift-command-r?

A normal refresh using command-r doesn't invalidate cached content.

Hi,
No, sorry. That kind of gyration should not be necessary to view a forum.
There are forum members thousands of miles apart who are having the same issues.
It's not a problem with my equipment...

Haha I wasn't accusing your equipment of any deficiency, it's just a way for force it to get fresh content. Three key presses instead of two and it resolved the many red circles problem for me also using chrome on OSX. Doesn't mean the problem is on your end, but the easy fix may be.

I followed your suggestion and it cleared up the issue. Thank you.
This is still something that needs to be addressed.
If a visitor to the site ends up a screen full of gibberish, they might not come back.

Seems to happen after an hour of idle time.

Don't even know what an IOS device is. I've had red circles for days, 'till just now. No clue what was going on but figured I'd call in a day or two or try to email. Seems OK now, hope it stays that way.

Still no good for me, using IE.

Threads appear ok. All index pages, not.
You only need patience if you'd rather be doing something else.
