Ok, so slickertalk seems to have lost it's style sheets or something.. no header, side area is messed up. HSXTT looks right, slackertalk looks... uh. - colin Oct 31, 07:32 17
- I can't load either slicker or slacker lately. -- nm - loosilu Oct 31, 07:34 12

        hsxtt is ok, but not the other two. -- nm - loosilu Oct 31, 07:56 1
        
        The DNS for HSXTT is hosted somewhere else, so maybe that is the root case -- nm - Heisenbery Oct 31, 08:02
    - Just FWIW, slicker is working for me. -- nm - mara Oct 31, 07:46 5
      - Thanks. I think the switch from HTML to CSS for certain styling elements, combined with caching of the old stylesheet, is the issue - Heisenbery Oct 31, 07:48 2
        
        which broke my little greasemonkey script :(. I'll need to find time to rework it. -- nm - decline Oct 31, 08:28
        
        I hope flushing the old style sheet won't clog the tubes. -- nm - mara Oct 31, 08:22
