Forums: problem with aspect and loading

kwisatz · June 2022

So I have this weird problem for weeks now: forums are taking forever to load and appear with this very old style

Of course I cleared cache, cookies, history, and tried other browsers without any result. Otherwise everything is working fine on my PC and browsers. I have no problem loading any other site.

First, I didn't think it was on my end, till I visited the forum at work and saw it working just fine.

I have no clue about programming, so I don't know if it's relevant or not, but inspection shows that:

Vintage might be okay, but eternal loading kills me.
Any suggestion?

Have you tried a selective startup to see if that will help?

Disabling background processes can be done by rebooting the PC into a selective startup. This will disable third party software running on the PC. Test the website under the selective startup and see if the issue persists.

I tried that and more, thank you @ZOS_Bill.
I tried disabling AV and firewall, disabling browser extensions, and get every time that same issue with prod-eso-forum.css not loading.
It's driving me crazy.

One more thing you can try out is creating a new Windows account and then loading the ESO website. This can help determine if there is something with the Windows settings leading to this issue.

Just tried this option you suggested, but no result either.

Update: this morning, as usual, I opened ESO forum... Surprise! It's back to the current version! No vintage vanilla anymore.
Strange thing: I didn't do anything, because I gave up some time ago.

Yet another unsolved mystery...

Thank you for the update. Since the forum page has reverted back and resolved itself, we will now close this discussion.
