  • I don't know what's caused it, but it appears as though the stylesheets are not being loaded. What you're seeing there is simply the markup code of the forum with no styling applied.

    In Firefox > View > Page Style ...
    If 'No Style' is selected that may be your problem, set it to 'default'.

    A full browser cache can cause some strange page loading problems. Emptying it is worth a try.
    Error! - Keyboard not attached. Press any key to continue.

    Sounds as if you had the same update as me. There were no problems with mine apart from the fact that it loaded with the default theme and I had to select my preferred one again.
