What happend to the forum?

Last night the forum lost a CSS file (at least that what it looks like) Here is a screenshot of what it looks like for me right now:

Sounds like it just didn't load correctly. If you refresh the page, it should be okay. If that doesn't solve it, you might need to clear your browser's cache and do a hard refresh.

Just did that, no joy... I pulled it up on my tablet and it looks fine, so I figured it was something that went wonky with my desktop browser. I just have no idea what...

Edit: I found it! It was really weird because the KSP forum was the only site that looked like this. That right there was my major clue to what happened. Beware the use of Adblock Plus Firefox addon - if you're not careful, it blocks everything! I undid the last block I did and everything is back to normal.

Ad-block plus does what it's user tells it to do. The user has to choose what general filter they want to use. The general filter is not what causes the problem most of the time. It's when a user right clicks on a certain picture or banner and then tries to create a custom filter for that picture or banner when problems arise. If the user takes the time to actually read the choices given after right clicking the desired item to be blocked, he/she will see about 3-4 choices for what kind of filter to create, from blocking almost everything on the site to that one particular item. So yeah, one must pay attention when using ad-block, but ad-block itself is not the problem, the user is. Overall, and IMO, Ad-block plus is the #1 goto item in system protection.

Like I said "... if you're not careful, it blocks everything!" I should have paid more attention before I clicked "Okay"
