I opened thread from newbies and from your posted url and both opened correctly.

This is using Firefox Browser.

I've been seeing formatting issues as well...

So far I haven't encountered that particular one, but in the last couple days subject lines have disappeared from forum listings, forum titles have rendered at random fonts, the forum descriptions have displayed with random margins, and internal links have been broken one second with included HTML tags and work after a page refresh.

I only snagged one screenshot, but this one shows the link to my sticky in the Vista forum was MIA for about 20 minutes on Friday evening. During that time "John.Wilkinson" correctly linked to my profile, but "by" also became hyperlinked. Oddly enough the hyperlink was to my sticky thread, but contained <br> tags at the start and end of the URL, breaking it.

It sounds like the forum software is glitching while attempting to convert water into wine.

This screenshot shows the thread tracker alerting me to an update. Apparently it's having a bad morning...it decided not to provide me with the name of or link to the thread.
