Is anyone else having styling issues?

• akjetma 14y ago
  hn has always had styling issues for me. I've always just attributed them to something mysterious in the thick jungle of my current linux install... It is particularly nasty right now though.

    It's not all that mysterious - their CSS is just pretty bad for Linux users. For example, they specify Verdana with no fallbacks (not even sans-serif) so we get a nice unreadable (at their font size) serif font. :(

  Looks like a CSS link, <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ycombinator.com/news.css"> is using http rather than https from an https page. Chrome (25.0.1364.152 m) refuses[1] to retrieve; FF 19.0.2 does retrieve; IE 8 warns of insecure content. [1] Chrome can be told to load anyway at the end of its URL entry box.

    Good to know i'm not the only person fucking things up like this.

      Protip: Specify urls as "//example.com/path/to/style.css" or such. They will default to whatever protocol (http/https) was used to fetch the parent page. It's also less typing (DRY!).

        Unless you're loading from a file (using file://)

          I'm curious about when you would ever do this on a public-facing webpage.
• jellyksong 14y ago
  It's because HN is on https but the css file isn't. If you're on chrome you can click the shield icon to manually load it (not sure about other browsers).
• stock_toaster 14y ago
  yeah. I am getting 'insecure content' warnings, and styling is not loading properly.
• niggler 14y ago
  yeah just happened a minute ago
• fnordfnordfnord 14y ago
  Yes, font changed, links are now blue underlined. Happened about two minutes ago.
• bradgessler 14y ago
  Oh no! A font tag must be misplaced! Remember those days? CSS is for the birds.
• codegeek 14y ago
  me too. I have to confirm with my browser about secure content before getting the stylesheet to work
