What happened to the search facility ?

Looking up an email address or IP on site used to give great results that were clearly laid out and was visually very good, now the search results page seems devoid of detail and "very" white !  wink

It's almost as if the CSS is missing.

Has the search facility changed in some way ?

Re: What happened to the search facility ?

Are you using Chrome, by any chance?

I've encountered a problem here before where a request for CSS and other related assets times out, Chrome then caches the failed request, and then every consequent request, as a result, won't include any of the CSS or other related assets. I haven't seen this behaviour in other browsers before, and I'm not really sure why Chrome does it TBH (and the behaviour kind of annoys me at times), but it seems that Chrome will sometimes cache time-outs and failed requests. To rectify the problem, I simply cleared my browser cache, and then, when I tried accessing the site again, all was well.

Try clearing your browser cache, accessing the site again, and let us know whether the problem persists. If the problem disappears, then it's possible that the problem that you've encountered and the problem that I've encountered were the same problem. If the problem persists, it might be something else entirely and I might be completely off the mark here. Anyhow, worth trying, in any case.

I use Chromium (identical to Chrome, but for Debian) & had a very similar problem with the Add Spam Data page (no CSS). It currently shows the same. Oh dear.

Ok, just done some testing and for me it works fine in Chrome and Edge, but not in Firefox. Tried another PC and someone else's laptop and it was the same. Don't normally look at them but some of the pages in the "Resources" area were similar.

Basically it's not rendering the CSS on some pages in Firefox.

Wonder if Cloudflare has something to do with it ?

I'm getting the same on the Add Spam data page (no css)

Well , oddly enough I am using Firefox, but on OpenBsd and I can not duplicate this,
both the search and add spam data, seem to be fine.

Hmm, this is strange. I've just seen the same thing happen in Firefox.  The pages work, just the CSS is screwy.  I'll have a look
