I keep getting a non-sexy version of Flyertalk
 

I am on dialup and while pages seem to load much faster than they did in the early hours of the new version I seem to get a very toned down version of the new software.

I have seen the sexy version and it did appear for sometime yesterday however it now is all rather demure :(

PS. Anyone know how to turn off the automaticaly checked signature box, so I dont have to uncheck it each time I post?

Please refer to this thread for more information, fbgdavidson.

For more information on signatures, please refer to The NEW FlyerTalk: Helpful Hints, Tips and Suggestions to Enhance Your Experience thread.

I don't believe there's actually an option for that. I ended up just deleting my signature.

I, too, have been since Fri. night alternately getting the "text only" version and the full graphics version. Soemtimes versions will change within a session. Othertimes, the entire session will be one view or the other (PowerMac G3 and G4; OS 8.6-9.2; I.E. 5.1.1. and DSL

It just changed again @ 4:17 PM EDT
 

Wow this is interesting. I was changing pages and the color version poped up. Oh well, I guess it will take some time to sort this out and have all the bugs worked out.

Just to flag some technical glitches I noticed to the technical people.

Mozilla 1.5
No text boxes and no colour. Only text and some graphics.
However, this symptom apperared only since Friday.

For NS 7.48
Not possible to access forum Error message is:

The requested URL /forum/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style-2341e291-00001.css was not found on this server.

For IE6.x
Text boxes with proper colours.

However, for Mozilla and IE, it is still not possible to access search function.

Hope these info would be helpful.

The "non-sexy" look occurs when the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) file is somehow not delivered from the server. Usually a reload (or two) will fix it. :)

fbgdavidson, one could make all sorts of comments as to why you don't see the sexy FT. :D

Server difference
 

More specifically, flyertalk.com/www.flyertalk.com resolves to two different IP addresses. One has it...
http://64.78.185.85/forum/clientscri...e291-00001.css
and the other doesn't:
http://64.78.185.92/forum/clientscri...e291-00001.css
So it's slightly non-deterministic and probably depends on the way your operating system's IP stack resolves DNS as well as your browser. In certain browsers or on certain OSes it won't alternate between IPs (or it will cache the lookup for a certain amount of time) such that a reload may not help.

This issue should be resolved now.
