13. Style sheet issue in the Upload subdomain

For what it is worth, when the styling disappeared from my view of DU, I took a look at the page HTML.

The file path for the CSS goes to a subdomain. When I load that URL into a browser, I get a 404 error:
https://upload.democraticunderground.com/styles/style-main.css

However, when I change the file path to your DU domain, the style sheets pop right up.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/styles/style-main.css

Since that time, it's a crap shoot whether or not the site is styled when I log in. Most of the time, the styles are MIA, every once in awhile they snap into place.

Unfortunately, the site pages are pretty unreadable without the CSS. Sigh. I'll keep waiting and hoping for this to resolve.

Is 403 still the case in June 2024, when I'm still seeing it when I just try to post inside a thread? What's going on? ancianita Jun 2024 #16

Still? A few hours later on the same thread but not any other? ancianita Jun 2024 #17
