What happened to your web guys?

The glorious mwomercs.com site looks like this since the server migration, which is a rather long time for such a big game.

I have reported this to Mister Niko Snow himself, but it seems like there is no fix.



Pro tip for the annoyed forum user:
Changing the protocol from http to https manually fixes the issue for the current side.

I hope this gets fixed soon so I can buy the fancy new clan mechs

I've been having similar problems (Windows 7, Chrome). Curiously, my mobile (also running Chrome on Android) isn't affected, just any PC I use.

Yeah, I can confirm that. And it's broken on iPad, too.

I think I've found the cause after a little digging.

My Profile page is fine, but the forums aren't, so I poked around inside the source code for the pages.

The Profile page contains this line:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://static.mwomercs.com/css/mwo.2.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

...which, when opened separately, has useful text.

On the other hand, this forum page contains this slightly different line:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//static.mwomercs.com/css/mwo.2.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

Note the absence of the "https:" at the front of the URL. This points to a blank document for me.

Other URLs starting with "//" and not with "https://", such as "//mwomercs.com/forums/public/js/3rd_party/lightbox.js", work fine.

Hope that's useful to someone!

Just to update, //static.mwomercs.com/css/mwo.2.css is no longer a blank document (for me at least), and my web page looks fine again.

Edit: Aaaaand it's gone again. Not sure what the change was.

Atm it works well for me but i have no clue if it stays that way...

This is happening to me too - the workaround is to add https:// to the beginning of any url on the site but you have to do that each page load :/ I'm on firefox/Win7 64

Yeah, that workaround forcibly inserts https:// into all the URLs referenced on the page, thus fixing the CSS pointer.
