It appears that a new version of phpBB has been installed here (or significant changes made, anyway).

This causes some breakage for me. The Community Resources page now shows nothing in the "Forum Posts" box. In addition, the main index page layout in my (quite aged) version of Firefox appears as below:

Is this happening for anyone else?

Looks fine in Firefox 12 and Chrome 19 on Mac.

What Firefox version?

Yeah, we just upgraded the forum stack from phpBB2 to phpBB3. Which version of Firefox are you running?

It's working, or not working?

That's not related to the browser, and is something we'll be addressing shortly.

Works fine for me, except the footer nav links (below phpbb copyright notice) are a bit off center to the left.

FF 12 Fedora 15.

It's 1.5.0.8.

Another item: clickable images now have a rectangular border, as shown here.

To be clear, I don't expect Linode to put forth massive effort fixing phpBB3's display. Mainly curious to see if others are seeing the same thing.

Could you post a screenshot illustrating the breakage?

That offset left exists on our footers elsewhere and is entirely normal.

:shock: That's a seven year old browser... I imagine you experience odd behavior on multiple sites running something that antiquated.

If you are experiencing issues rendering something, a screenshot would be most helpful.

Fun fact: Firefox 1.5 was the last version to support Windows 95, and the first version to not support Mac OS v10.1.

Considering what a notable attack vector browsers are, using Firefox 1.5.x, which hasn't had a security update in many years, is very irresponsible. The oldest version of Firefox that is still supported is v10.

@Vance

The Smithsonian called, they'd like to know if they can have their 1990's computer exhibit back.
