Nightcrow –
I just wanted to say the reason the site is displaying funky(if it is still displaying funky for you!) is because of adblock. I was just getting ready to post something in the forums about the site looking exactly like your screenshots.
Then I added this site to the exclusion list and now it looks just fine. We must be subscribed to the same blocking lists. Either way, this is definitely a site that’s ok to turn off the blocking for. 🙂Thank you Sychia! The out-of-whack display was driving me crazy haha, but whitelisting this site made it all go back to normal. Phew!

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been really frustrated trying to solve this, and it hadn’t occurred to me that ad blocking was the culprit.
I want to check in with everyone about current website issues. I’ve been really swamped lately dealing with a variety of rather urgent site issues, and don’t see that changing until about the end of this week at the earliest. I’m trying to simultaneously work on the issues that have been posted here recently, but I know the response time has been slower than usual. We only have one part-time person to manage the website (that’s me), so I appreciate your patience.
As for the wonky site display that several people have reported: Sychia posted that disabling AdBlock, or whitelisting our site, resolved the issue, and that’s been confirmed by others. But at least one user is still having this problem (only on Firefox) despite disabling all add-ons. Is anyone else still experiencing this after turning off ad-blocking software? If so, please post here or PM me.
Forum signature length: several people have complained about long forum signatures taking up too much space, especially on mobile devices. The only solution to this is to shorten the maximum length, but I need to do some testing of this to see how changing the max length will affect existing signatures, etc. I hope to get to this within the next week.
If there are other issues that are urgent or semi-urgent, please post or remind me and I will get to them as soon as I can.
Lastly, I want to thank all of you for bringing issues to our attention (including the presence of spam in the forum and classifieds). We simply don’t have the resources to monitor all the sections of the site as closely as we would like, so it’s really helpful to get input from our community when problems arise.
Clay,
I ran into a new problem yesterday evening. I usually post using the “Text” tab, but I do the eBay posts from the “Visual” tab so I can upload the photo. Starting yesterday, clicking on the “Visual” tab has no effect – I can’t get it to switch. I tried rebooting my computer since that fixed the previous problem I had had, but it didn’t help. Firefox on Windows 10.My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.

I haven’t been able to replicate this. When I view the site with Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, the text/visual tabs function like they always have. What browser are you using? And did you recently install any browser add-ons (i.e., extensions, plugins)?
Anyone else having this issue?

I use Firefox on Windows 10, Version 60.0.2 (64-bit). It last auto-updated well before the problem started. I gave up and posted the eBay pics with IE this morning, and that worked. I still can’t get to it with Firefox. I hate IE….
My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.
Just in case it helps, here is the source code Firefox shows me, with angle brackets changed to curly brackets:
{div class=”bbp-the-content-wrapper”}{div id=”wp-bbp_reply_content-wrap” class=”wp-core-ui wp-editor-wrap html-active”}{div id=”wp-bbp_reply_content-editor-tools” class=”wp-editor-tools hide-if-no-js”}{div class=”wp-editor-tabs”}{button type=”button” id=”bbp_reply_content-tmce” class=”wp-switch-editor switch-tmce” data-wp-editor-id=”bbp_reply_content”}Visual{/button}
{button type=”button” id=”bbp_reply_content-html” class=”wp-switch-editor switch-html” data-wp-editor-id=”bbp_reply_content”}Text{/button}My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.
I found the problem. It was adblock. I thought I had tried disabling it here before, but I had actually disabled something else.

Is the new layout a work in progress? I am not enamored of the “Explore” drop-down box rather than having categories across the top of the Forum page. Thank goodness for being able to right click on the “Back” arrow!

Glad you were able to sort it out. Let me know if you have any further trouble with that.

The new navigation is designed to make it easier for first-time visitors to the site (and others) to find the products they are looking for. We will be fine-tuning things in the coming days. If there are particular pages that you would like easier access to, just let me know and we will try to accommodate.
I had a little vacation last week and found some down time. I thought I would see if there were any local stores selling Windstones, so I called numbers from the website store list. One place did not know of any statues being made out of “wind stone.” Another place asked how I got their phone number, as it was their home number, although they did vend at conventions. One put me on hold for five minutes, and I listened to promos for psychic readings. Most did not answer the phone.
Perhaps the store list on the website needs to be updated?

I would suggest that you have swung too far in the other direction. At first sight (and second and third sight too, in my opinion) there is no indication that the Windstone online presence is more than a store. The Forum does not show up at all unless someone is curious enough to click “Explore” or scroll down to the bottom of the page.
I do like the “Miscellaneous Animals” category in the store. I think that is new?
