    Default Forum is Mostly Text, like an old BBS forum

    Am I the only one that has lost the standard vBulletin graphical interface? This seems to have started last night after the Windows latest update.

    The forum is displayed as a text list of items, like an old BBS or directory listing. Everything seems to work, including images and links in posts.

    Win7 Pro OS. I am getting the same result with Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Using Forum Default Style, cookies have been cleared, rebooted a couple times. Tried to restore to the last known good restore point, but for some reason that failed. I am not having this problem with either of my other two computers that did not receive the Windows update.

    Anybody else having this problem?

    Well at least it's good to know I'm not crazy. If I find a solution I'll post it, but I suspect it's a conflict between vBulletin and the latest Windows update, not the first time I have seen that. The only website that seems to be affected is CNC Zone.

    I'm getting the same and I use Firefox on a Linux machine.It might be unfair to lay the blame at the feet of Microsoft this time.They have enough other stuff to feel guilty about..
    Somebody somewhere needs to undo the "improvements" that have been put into effect and ideally do it soon.

    Hello everybody,

    my name is Michael and I´m a new admin of CNCzone. You´re right, we had some internal server problems in the last days. But our IT developers fixed it now and the display should be ok for all browsers. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    If anybody still has problems, please let us know.

    I think I can still blame Microsoft, I haven't blamed them for anything else this week.

    Thank you Michael, looks like it's back to normal.

    Normal service seems to have been resumed-thanks to those responsible.
