7. That happens occasionally, fixed by reloading the DU page

But it has nothing to do with the search engine that provides you the link to the page.

Nor does it have anything to do with whatever "service" you are using to save three seconds on the login. Once you are logged in, you are logged in, and the site runs independently of whoever is scooping up the login info and connecting the dots.

The "small print lined up on the left" is all the content without the CSS formatting. The CSS code is provided by other servers, typically, though sites sometimes write gobs of CSS themselves. The CSS is delivered independently, so it occasionally doesn't get applied.

In early days of DU, I used to get that about three times a day or more. EarlG made some tweaks. Now it happens to me about once a month.
