and up to early this afternoon but it's OK now (so far). But generally speaking, DU is weird and we like it that way.

okay for me today and last night. I always stay logged in, but after a few months they make me log back in. When that happens to me, it looks different.

...... like "is this website a bastion of general weirdness?" I answered to myself, "of course it is, what with the expected variety of us who make up the Democratic Party and then throw in an above average number of environmentalists, social justice crusaders, pro- and anti-nuclear folks, science nerds, sports nuts, people of wildly varying religious bents (even Pastafarians), pro-Israeli and pro- Palestinian pacifists, lots of old people, movie buffs, dog lovers, cat lovers (esp. kittens), a bunch of vegans and the occasional Buddhist and what should one expect? Not weird?? C'mon. Not very likely."

But now I realize that maybe the question pertained to how the website was acting on the old "internets" today, and I am mildly disappointed. I had rather enjoyed my appreciation of DU's reality and I'm going to stick with it.

To anyone insulted by their inclusion in my list, I will apologize in advance, noting that I myself check a lot of the aforementioned boxes.

Sometimes on my iPhone. Started for me on Tuesday evening. It makes it unreadable. I’ve tried several different browsers, logging out and back in. Even did a cold boot on my phone. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. It was not acting that way for me on my iPad or laptops.

Right now, it’s behaving for me.

I'll get used to it, but I have to zoom in more.
I've tried all three Standard, Classic & Mobile and none look like what I've had.

It seems to self-correct in a while, though.
