basic mode,
 

We appear to have gone into the basic mode of graphic presentation.

OK, I'll bite. Huh????

Well I don't know what you're seeing but some of us have just got text and frames on a white ground, and no icons.

We've had this before, and I can't remember which of clearing your cookies / cache or rebooting corrects it.

Possibly a [shift] reload.

Not a problem here, btw (FF15.01).

One hour ago every thing was fine but now it has gone basic on me..

Using firefox 15.0.1, same on chrome and IE9

Nik

Now it's basic on FF but fine on IE9 for me.

I've tried all the things I suggested earlier, but no joy.

I'll alert the admins.

And now back to normal???

Weird.

SD

Still basic here on all browsers

Nik

OK here
I think you'll find its the server getting hammered
Maybe another DDOS?

sort of back to normal

Aw, thanks, just went thro a reset-to-default, still on basic mode.

Perhaps we're temporarily on a different server?


PS - partly normal now but lots of anomalies and blue question marks.

Suspect something with the interwebs went whacky for a few hours - last night I had difficulty due to very slow connection.....?

Here at HQ we haven't seen this issue, so we'd need more data before troubleshooting. Please keep reporting if it's happening, along with what measures seem to fix the issue. Let us know if clearing browser cookies and/or cache solves the issue. Thanks!

I had this happen on another site, Texas-based, nothing to do with IB. I wonder if trans-pond comms were affected? Or a content server like akamai on this side?

Hi Clee, I did a complete reset to default (android tablet) but that didn't help. The gremlins appeared to be site-generated, at one point I sat here refreshing and seeing amusing new versions of the same page each time. Have seen similar on our local newspaper (archant). I would suggest an isp problem. BT went down at one point. I would suggest sop should be sit tight and wait. Hope this is helpful, Mike.

I think this will be the problem GoDaddy stopped by massive DDoS attack ? The Register

there is an ongoing DDOS attack against the registrar "GoDaddy"
PPrune is registered with GoDaddy

something more about this today
Day-long outage 'not a hack,' claims GoDaddy ? The Register

believe what you will

Er, sorry, blowing one's own... :cool:

I think the site was on the same server Mike, but it was getting cut off because of the DDOS against the registrar's DNS server. No-one could find it
Things would have got back to normal when they farmed out their DNS serving to Verisign
I was probably not seeing problems like the rest of you because my machines are routed through OpenDNS - which is more resilient due to the way it caches DNS settings
