A detailed description of the problem -- provide as much info as possible.

This has happened seemingly randomly but sometimes clicking on a link (most often from "My Posts", but also on any post link), will result in a page that displays an unformatted version with missing or odd elements (font style/size incorrect, no page headers, missing columns, signature graphics not size-limited, etc). It recently happened when clicking on "Preview" while composing a reply.

Refreshing the page clears it.

1. Some partial page screenshots (starting from top and going to about the middle)

This was from initially attempting to post a reply to a thread in the PA Group. I did later refresh and successfully post but wanted to capture screenshots. I have SnagIt on a different laptop that actually does a scrolling screenshot but I have to replace the drive on that machine and haven't had chance to do it yet.

2. I've seen this too from time to time

It's not a bug related to the design of DU4 but more of a quirk to do with the way the servers and firewall are set up. It shouldn't happen at all, obviously, but as long as it's only happening infrequently and a page reload clears it, that puts it on the "things to keep an eye on" list as opposed to the "things that need fixing immediately" list.

However, if you find that it's happening consistently or persisting for long periods of time, please let me know.

5. Has happened to me now every time I switch from DU3 to DU4

although a refresh will clear it. It has more recently started happening while moving within DU4. Clicking to read a post or even to preview one before posting, gives me the same issue and a refresh will clear it, although clicking a link on the glitched screen to get to another page, cleared it with a need for a refresh (as a test). But now hitting preview before posting again, it glitched and hitting that again on the glitched page got me back to the expected look.

(ETA - when I just posted this, the post was glitched but refreshing fixed)

Have been testing "Skinner Mode" and it has happened in that as well.

Am using an i7 convertible laptop w/16MB RAM, Firefox 117.0.1, and Windows 10.

6. This is not really a bug

It's to do with the fact that we are running DU4 on a test server and the firewall is still adapting. For now it's an annoyance, but these issues should iron out after launch.

7. Oh I know - you had mentioned earlier

I have been trying out the "Skinner Mode"".
