Idling

I idle as my browser’s refusal to display voting icons after the second day of this dynasty is making it unplayable. If it gets fixed, I’ll unidle.

Quorum remains at 14.

I’m idling too, quorum stays at 14.

The voting icon thing seems odd - are they not showing up in comments, or on the edit box, or anywhere? Are they showing up as broken images? What browser are you using? Etc.

And oh, that was a request to become idle, not an announcement that you’d set yourself idle. Processed. Quorum is now 13.

@coppro: try clearing your browser’s cache, if you haven’t already.

I’ve cleared my cache; I cannot see any voting icons on the pages. If I load them up manually I can see them.

It could be some error in the stylesheet; my browser throws a few errors when trying to parse.

What browser do you use, coppro?

Huh, I use FF and I don’t get those messages.

They’re in the Error Console - I get the same errors, and I’m surprised there are only six of them, from the way the blog templates have been built and altered piecemeal by random admins over the years. The voting icons are fine for me in the same version of Firefox, though, and it doesn’t look like the affected CSS elements are the ones that contain voting icons. I’ll take a look at fixing the CSS when I’ve got some time next week, if nobody else gets there first.

Are there any obvious ways in which your browser setup might differ from a standard UK or US Windows installation, Coppro?
