when i open my private messages, they are in a conversation " bubble".....more like a rectangle, tiled one over the other, and the text is vertical with no spacing between words? once i scroll down forever to the bottom of the page, the pm's are there, and normal? is this an issue on my end?

Sounds like your end, but can you post a screen print?

Yes, a screen shot is what he is wanting to see.

What browser are you using?

Haven't seen that one, have you emptied your cache files lately. That can sure make things start acting weird.

thats what i get, sorry for the pic quality, but as you can see, the text is vertical. i didnt take the pic at the top , but there it says, originally posted by nwcove, or originally posted by *****. the vertical lines are all different text bubbles/panes??

Clear your cache files. Looks similar to things I have seen that sort of thing.

chrome://settings/clearBrowserData (EDIT; Copy and paste the blue link in your browser) then check mark a box in the Empty the cache box ONLY, and click the clear button.
Close the browser.
Start a new one and see how it looks.

It works if you copy and paste it. Chrome doesn't use real links to get to their pages.

It could even be an issue with one of the scripts we have on the forum, or even your internet connection. The page is designed by a stylesheet, when your browser doesn't load that stylesheet, then things can get a little crazy. Clearing your files/cache and all that stuff may help. If not then I'll dig around further.

So the PMs are still showing up how you saw them earlier? Try changing your zoom settings, maybe you're zoomed in to much. Hmm
