Hmmm, the site has gone decidedly low tech - has HTML gone to the pub?!

The site looks decidedly Lo-Fi (or more likely No-Fi) just now. No graphics, admittedly, no annoying dropdown adverts either, but looks like the site is one step from going back to its's skeleton!

A wee problem maybe?

Like this you mean?

Was getting this most of yesterday,as well as a few times today. The site has also been run pathetically slow again.

Though it appears to be ok ATM.

Apologies for that folks, we have been experiencing a slightly higher number of errors than usual and the occasional problems with pages rendering properly, as you've noticed. Will be having words with Mr Duncan in the morning!

Well the errors question is in hand, but not much idea about the 'text-only' issue - I see that on the BBC sometimes, but not sure what the cause could be...

Re: I don't much like the new 'retro' look to WHF...

This seems to be a problem loading the css file for the site.

For the people that this happens, view the source of the site and try to find the css file. Try to use it on your browser (e.g. http://whathifi.com/client/CSS/deliver.ashx?name=base.css&type=css&group...). If you don't see the css contents it means something is wrong with the link.

Since it's using some active scripting to get the css maybe there is an issue with that ashx.
