And The Pit. I can't tell which threads are read already, and which are not.

And the SiriusXM forum.

And the TV Shows forum.

I've been seeing that since the software change intermittently but it's not persistent. I was thinking more of a browser issue.

Why would a browser issue affect only certain forums?

If you’re running Chrome you should open up the Inspector and see which links are generating Warnings and Errors. This is more of the same that Scott has been fighting with since the upgrade.

Read the last few pages of the Xenforo 2.0 Upgrade thread and see if this what you’re experiencing.

Xenforo Upgrade

Well folks... I have been putting off upgrading us to the latest version of Xenforo (our forum software) for a long time now. And have come basically to the point that we MUST upgrade. I have been fooling around with the new software, and I think I will be making an executive decision to...

It is hit or miss. I'm using FF 72.0.2 64-bit on W7. W10 sucks.

On both my pc with w7 and my chromebook, if I go directly to a thread it is fine, but if I go to the forum it is wonky.

I've been using Satguys default with the sticky bar. That's the only one that I have this issue with, so I'll go with the dark theme until it's fixed.

There are pages of discussion of problems with the light themes in the Xenforo Upgrade thread.

It is a programmatic problem with the forum software. For whatever reason, switching to a dark theme seems to fix the problem.

I've observed that if you aren't logged in, the problem goes away. Are you logged in on those platforms?

When reporting this please let me know what style this is happening in.

The problem seems to be the Pagespeed caching in the NGINX server.

I don’t know why it started acting up like this. (And it started happening before we updated the forum software)

It was only in the satguy default sticky navbar format. It seems to be back to normal now.

I've seen this also, not as much lately. Switching from 1 style to another seems to be a temporary fix. Using the default style, haven't seen the issue in at least a week.
