Chrome is messing up the forum

Postby arnie » 15 Dec 2011

Please see attached image.

For the past few days Google's web browser Chrome is messing up the forum. I tested with Firefox and everything was fine.

Ditto here with Chrome -- although F5 fixes it. Can this be fixed permanently, so that F5 isn't necessary?

I used F5 about 4 days ago and the problem has not returned. I find Chrome does strange things every so often generally. Maybe I should try F5 every time this happens. What if a trade is loosing? Maybe it will work there :-)

Hello

Got the same problem with Chrome. Solution. Erase your navigation Data.

Here is my explanation. Chrome as a protection system where if for whatever reason, the Internet request is not answered in a given time, Chrome will setup a fast loading mode. The page will then be loaded without formatting and image. Once this fast mode as been enabled, the configuration is modified and each time you will try to relaod the page, the fast loading mode will be in place

To resolve that, you will need to erase your Internet Navigation data (* English translation from French. Hope it is how it is called :) )

To do so: CTRL + Upper Cap + Delete

Or Chrome Wrench, Tool, Erase Navigation Data (* English translation)

Hope it help

Martin

I see "Clear Browsing Data" rather than "Clear Navigation Date". Under there I see several options. I am thinking Cache is the most likely choice.

Chrome Wrench, Tool, Clear Browsing Data

So where is F5 I am wondering. Time to look for it I guess.

Thanks Martin. That works! Your English is great, by the way -- far better than my French skills (which are none). :-)

To the Multicharts team: It would still be a good idea to fix this, if possible. It doesn't create a great first impression for new people if they visit your site and see some weird HTML formatting issues. (This bug affects not only the discussion forums, but also the home page and other pages on your site.)

Xyzzy,

This is not at all a Multicharts problem. I had the same problem with any web pages occasionally. If it is a problem, it is more with Chrome and other similar browser.

A happy trading week to all

Martin

It might not be unique to MultiCharts, but it still might be worth fixing if possible. From this thread, a number of us have had this problem, and with all of the major browsers. Perhaps there's something that could be fixed or redesigned to make the problem go away. (I'm not an HTML expert, but it's not something that happens often for me with other websites.)

If someone new visits the MultiCharts website (like a potential customer) and gets the same bug, that doesn't provide a good first impression.
