content: Didn't see a place for issues with the forum so I'll try here...And, more likely it's my browser.I use the Firefox 59.0.1 (64 bit) browser. If I go to EEVBlog and then right click on a topic (I chose Beginners)and choose open in new tab I get an improperly rendered web page. Could a firefox user try this? If yours is working it'll be time for me to reinstall Firefox scan for malware etc...Strangely, as long as i don't try to re-open EEVBlog in a new tab it works fine.

content: Looks like there's a problem with the website cache. Try clearing history and data, it might just be a corrupt cache. Otherwise, the browser is corrupt.
