Display problem seemingly related to IP address?
-
I’ve been using wordpress for a couple of weeks without incident. All of a sudden this week, all the computers in my house display it as just text and hyperlinks (see screen shot below):
It doesn’t matter what computer (xp, osx) or browser (firefox, IE, safari) – I’ve cleared caches, cookies, etc, but nothing works. When I access it from work or a public computer, it displays properly. Is this a common problem? Should I change my network settings?

What happens if you click on this link? –
https://s-ssl.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/h4/global.css
Is there an error message?

I’m thinking it’s either your virus/spyware protection/firewall or your connection. You are not the only person to report such a thing this week, though: are you by chance in the Far East or Middle East? It could be related to the outages there because of the cable severings.

leighisme: same question as above. What happens when you click on that link? Is there an error message?

raincoaster: I think it must be the connection, since it shows up the same on two very different computers with different spyware protection etc. I’m in Canada.

You should see about a dozen lines of CSS code when you click on that link. If you don’t, something is blocking your access to s.wordpress.com.
It could be a local network problem, a DNS problem, firewall software installed on your PC, a firewall in your router/dsl/cable modem, a problem with your ISP, a censoring firewall if you’re in a country like China, Turkey or Germany, a caching problem, or probably many other things I haven’t thought of. Unfortunately it’s hard to tell which of those is at fault.
I can tell you that s.wordpress.com is working just fine, so if you can’t access it there’s a problem somewhere between your computer and our data center.
