AI Thread Summary
Users experienced garbled page rendering on the PF Forum, making navigation impossible due to non-clickable links. The issue persisted across multiple devices and browsers, including Firefox and mobile phones. After troubleshooting, it was determined that the problem stemmed from Cloudflare caching the main CSS file. Purging the cache resolved the rendering issues. Currently, the forum is functioning normally.

Not sure if this is something I faced on my side only, but for the last one hour, whenever I visited PF, the pages were like this:

Navigation was not possible because the links that were behind the garbled text were not clickable. I managed to visit this forum by inspecting the source code, but it was the same experience:

I tried from Firefox. Same issue.

Tried from my phone, and it was no different.

My laptop is connected to my phone's mobile data, so I thought it could be an internet issue in my phone. So, I tried with another phone, and faced the same garbled page.

A video is uploaded here.

Currently, things seem to be fine.

Me too. Fine now
 
It was a problem with the Cloudflare caching of the main CSS file. I purged and it was resolved.
