Hey any Google Chrome users having issues with viewing the site? For me it occasionally turns up funny, and has only started happening after the recent server shift. It's happening for both my laptop and my brand new desktop as well, so it's not an isolated case :/

This is an example of turning up funny:

It turns out there are two non-trivial stylesheets that get included on each page. One is the red-looking thing, and the other is the main 'blue.css' stylesheet where almost all of the red is overriden. However, the blue.css one is declared as "alternate" which means it can be switched out. In Firefox you can actually see the effect by going to View -> Page Style and switching the alternate off.

The problem can be made to occur on WebKit-based (Chrome, Safari) browsers because it seems that, while it normally chugs along and just treats it normally, it seems that if the style comes too slowly, it just gets ignored. So Ctrl+F5 refreshing can actually work against you as it downloads everything again, and the blue.css comes toward the end on my machine, which means it may come late again.

tl;dr As a maybe workaround (I'm not confident on this one), navigate to http://www.sc2sea.com/images/styles/...style/blue.css manually, refresh it, then come back.

Actual solution: make blue.css a non-alternate stylesheet. I have no idea how you get vBulletin to do that, so on this one, nirvAnA, you're on you're own!

P.S. Didn't know Firefox actually has UI for switching alternate stylesheets, learnt something new today!
