I only get this on DU. Chrome or Firefox on an XP computer. Close the browser and reload and it's fine.

(2,256 posts)Just kidding. It looks like an issue specific to that web browser. Do you have another browser you can use until this is cleared up?
You can post here for direct assistance from the admin.

(27,818 posts)They're shutting down all means of communication between the revolutionaries who are attempting to cast off the yoke of slavery imposed by the 1%. It is a means to manipulate The People by severing their ties to websites where they gather to discuss the tyranny they are being forced to live under, and where they plot to escape the shackles of their corporate overlords.
Or, in the alternative, it could be a simple computer glitch.

Sooo... at some point the cache and/or history builds up to something it can't handle. Restart the browser and the cache is cleared and it works again.

(146,329 posts)Generally, it happens during one of Chrome's endless updates. Chrome doesn't tell you that it is updating, but you can see it going on in Task Manager (Mangler) if you have it open.
If you refresh or move to a different page, what you see sometimes happens. The fix, as you discovered, is to close and restart your browser.
It's not on DU's end.
