Forum lists look awful all of a sudden - tall and wide. Post reply button won't work for me. I don't have this issue on other forums, so not sure if that helps. Maybe a browser update did this to me? Using Firefox 115.0.3 64 bit
Have never posted here before (and don't even know if the post thread button will work) but if pics are allowed in this forum I can show how the list looks.
 
Tried to paste views of the two lists but doesn't seem to be accepting that method. At least that's what I see in the composing window and preview window.

Forum looks normal to me. Using Chrome.

Edit: Also fine with Firefox for me

I tried to post pics of what the lists look like using the normal approach for that. What is in my last post is the result - no images.
The post I was trying to save still won't save.
 
@Micron: There is no known or reported issue as you explained in the Firefox browser.
However, the second screenshot that doesn't show the forum list properly looks like a missing stylesheet rule problem. The cached CSS file could be somehow corrupted in your browser cache.

When you are browsing in the forum, could you please open the Firefox Developer Tools (Ctrl + Shift + I) that is most likely opened at the bottom, click on the Network tab in the developer tools window, select the Display Cache checkbox, and refresh the page? I am not using Firefox but Ctrl + Shift + R should also force the cached files to be reloaded.

@smozgur did you mean Disable Cache rather than Display Cache in the description?
You are right, Mark. Thanks for catching it.

@Micron: Just like @MARK858 warned, it is supposed to be Disable Cache option as it looks in the screenshot. Sorry for the confusion.
 
At some point the Unanswered list returned to normal by itself and I was able to post the waiting reply. However the post seems somewhat out of logical order. Regardless, I did as suggested just in case. Thanks for responding, but there doesn't seem to be an option to mark any reply as the solution.

You only get the mark as solution option when you are in one of the Question Forums ;)
