Thanks Steeley. I have passed on the link to this thread to our host who set up our forum as a big favour when I was locked out of our old one & unable to contact them to get back in (even though I was a mod).
I'm not on a Mac btw.

OK, I snatched the screenshot, and it is as I suspected..

That is a mismatch between the webserver and the client. And since it's happening with lots of different clients, it's server specific..
What is the cause in most cases is that the pertinent style sheet "prettyfile".css  ( :zany_face: whatever the name is) is not properly loading.

Now, the fact that "apple users" don't have the problem tells me that either apple browsers aren't picky, or possibly you're on a mac server.. perhaps running macOS 12 Monterey or macOS 13 Ventura and it's not fully supporting php ?(depreciated in macOS 12 Monterey). Or it could be anything else  and probably is. :unamused: 

At this point I need your server info from you. You may need to check with your host for that information, and while chatting, ask for a clue why the style sheet(s) might be getting weirded..
 
(I also noted that at @14:00 utc (zulu time) I couldn't reach the domain URL shown in the link - either the domain is off line or there's some issue with the url...)

And for the record, I'm also dancing on the edge of my own knowledge cliff here.. so I'll try not to grab your hand and pull you off into oblivion..

This sounds like a configuration issue with your server... pretty sure Elkarte serves up generic HTML via PHP, to your host's web-server (Apache, Centora, Vesta, whatever.. etc.), to serve to the internet.

First, check with your hosting service and see what they think. Also gather server configuration info (web software,, database, php versions, yadda yadda) in case we need to look at EA configuration with your platform.

Meanwhile, can you post a screenshot of "text view" (preferably from your desktop, not smartphone) - I think I know what you are seeing, but before I delve further, I'd like to be sure so I don't send you down a rabbit hole..

Edit: Oh, and what version of EA are you running?

Our forum was set up in August 2024. Many of us see text view only and it can switch backwards & forwards between "normal" or HTML or text. On my iphone if I use Safari it's always HTML but on other browsers it's often text only. On my laptop, no matter what browser I use I mostly get text view. I have updated all of my browsers. Many other users get the same thing. Those who only use Apple products don't get the text view.
Is there a simple fix, preferably one that someone like me, who is self-taught on computers, will understand please?
Edit: This link may show what I often see-

Quote from: Kian – If not I think I'll just proceed with the following query and hope for the best :

Code: [Select]
UPDATE wedge_messages SET posterIP = '127.0.0.1';

Well, for anyone who may need this, it actually worked but with the following query :

Code: [Select]
MariaDB [MyDatabase]> UPDATE wedge_messages SET poster_ip = '0';
Query OK, 209915 rows affected (2.668 sec)
Rows matched: 209915  Changed: 209915  Warnings: 0

Quote from: TE – The attached version should import a wedge forum to ElkArte.. It's still based on an outdated version of OpenImporter but it should work  :-[

Note: I'n not sure with the ip adress import for the messages, the format seems somewhat different compared to ElkArte's ipv6 implemantation.

Good Luck and hopefully Welcome to ElkArte  :D

Hello and thanks for the script.

I know I'm upping a very old topic, but I'm currently tyring to migrate from Wedge and it seems that, as mentioned at the end of your post, it's not IPv6 compatible. The export from Wedge to Elkarte 1.0 works up until I've setup IPv6 on my forum DNS. It crashes at my first ever IPv6 message   :sweat:

Would there happen to be a way to clear / modify these IPv6, and don't actually need to keep them logged for the migration.

If not I think I'll just proceed with the following query and hope for the best :

Code: [Select]
UPDATE wedge_messages SET posterIP = '127.0.0.1';
