Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it seems that whenever I log in to AFVA, the layout of the website changes from the 'normal' site (designs, pictures, etc...) to a very simple one with no real layout, just a list of the links on the page on a white background. Every link does still work (at least the ones I have tried), but it's really annoying from a usability standpoint. Is this a problem with AFVA or something at my end? Thank you for your help.

Your browser isn't downloading the CSS properly. Please refresh the page.

I tried to refresh the page, and nothing happened. I tried the site on both Chrome and IE on different computers with no change. The site looks fine before I log in, but after I log in it goes to the basic form.

Can you go ahead and delete all your internet temp files?

Anybody?

It appears specific to your machine. What CSS file is erroring out, and what is the error? You should be able to see this in the IE/Chrome developer tools.

In the page with the error (no design), I do not see this in the 'Matched CSS Rules' box, which is what I see when on a normal looking page with the design: body {
color: #0b228c;
margin-left: 2px;
margin-right: 0;
font-family: tahoma,verdana;
font-size: 9pt;
}
I only see this:
body { user agent stylesheet
display: block;
margin: 8px;
}

Is this a problem?

Mohamed - that is interesting indeed. Not sure why this is happening to your machine.

It is very strange. I have still not been able to figure anything out.

I had a strange moment of serendipity and discovered the issue. I'll file a bug report and fix it for you later tonight.

Cheers!

Thank you so much Luke! Its great that we have tech-savvy people like you here! Just out of curiosity, what was the issue?

Posted onPost created on April 25 2013 18:37 ET by Luke Kolin

It looks like the UI scheme got copied with your profile when it migrated from DVA to AFV, and that UI scheme doesn't exist on the AFV side.

Cheers!

Okay, you should be good to go. You get a virtual cookie for finding one of the more obscure bugs in the system!
