The entire format of DP page is all contorted it is coming up all jumbled. I am not having this problem on other web pages. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think it's a bug and it does that at certain post counts. It's happened to me a couple of times and usually clears up within a day or two.

Are you trying to view the website via a mobile device? If so, try going to the bottom of the page and selecting that you want the full site. If you are using your computer, try using a different browser like firefox instead of chrome (or vice versa).

Thank you MrT I am not having any trouble on other websites. Just DP and I am on my computer. DP comes in just fine on my phone.

It is really hard to motivate through this page at the moment. Hopefully one of the mods or someone can take a look at the situation.

I'll check back in a day or so.

If it just started recently then reboot your PC. Windows tends to download updates on Tuesday night and sometimes one or another update doesn't install correctly and messes stuff up. Quite often a simple reboot fixes what ails you.

I get "page not found" when trying to move to a specific post several times a day. I get length program halts where I can't do anything but exit. I have assumed it was the software doing a mass save. But they have become very frequent, so much so I spend more time on another site now.

It's very frustrating and happens with no other sites

The first thing that I tell the people I help on the phone is:

1. Shut down your computer.
2. Go have a beer.

Opps wrong furum.

Seriously though, sometimes files get corrupted that the browser uses so you need to clear the cache. Assuming you are on a windows machine:

1. Shut down your computer, don't just put it to sleep, power it down.
2. Reboot
3. Open a single browser window. Don't go anywhere, just open your browser.
4. Assuming you are using Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome, press the CTRL+SHIFT+DELETE keys together. (Just tap, you don't need to hold them down.)
5. This will bring up a dialog box and what you see depends on the specific browser. If there is time range option delete everything as opposed to the last hour or last day. Then examine the checkboxes. You want to check anything that has to do with "cache", "cookies", "Temporary files", etc. Then click the button at the bottom to make it happen.

This is "clearing your cache" of temporary files and cookies that build up over time. BEWARNED: You will have to have your User ID and passwords ready to log back into stuff because you will be removing the session cookies. (Not a problem, but just be warned.)

Thanks to one and all for your input. Everything is now running just fine.
I did shut down my computer and rebooted. I also cleaned out my cache. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. I do so much appreciate it!
