About an hour ago someone complained that FR wasn't fully displaying on his computer. I checked on some longer threads as well as the comments display, and it was working fine for me. I'm using Firefox Beta 23 on Win 7.
Then, I happened to update my Java to Java 7 Release 25. Lo and behold, the partial display bug appeared for me when I checked back into FR.
The same problem exists when I use Chrome, so I presume it's the Java update that's causing the problem. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
Windows 8.1
Getting or giving? ;-)
FreeRepublic does not use Java.

Bingo, that worked for me.
No sidebar either.
This happens occasionally.
Lol.
It’s not a Java problem. It’s a FR problem.
It worked fine earlier in the day, I haven’t changed anything on my computer and it’s not working right at this time.
To: conservatism_IS_compassion It’s happened before, set your views to 20 instead of 50 and if that doesn’t work, disable sidebars. I haven’t had a problem since I did that.What might be happening to cause my browser to display the article and only the first 10-14 replies on a thread? New anomaly AFAIK.56 posted on June 29, 2013 7:37:52 PM EDT by conservatism_IS_compassion

I would tend to agree.
I’d never seen it before today.
I’m seeing it on Safari on my Mac . . .
Thanks to both of you.
I rebooted into Linux, where I’m using a different browser and a different version of the Java language, and the problem is indeed there.
And, yes I remember the 20 posts workaround. Guess what—it worked.
So, I was wrong. However, the sequence of FR working—Java update—FR not working within an hour seemed to point at Java rather than a coincidental reappearance of the bug. Improbable, but it seems to be the case.
I usually have mine up all day but I am the problem.
Net is glitchy again.
The hub Verizon/Level3 is red and more is strangled (internetpulse).
Big geomagnetic storm is just subsiding. I’ve had phone lines quit on me today.
The servers need more cowbell.
And another hamster.
You made a reasonable assumption then requested input from others to check it out. There was nothing wrong with that.
I had it set to 20 posts, but it’s still not working right, don’t have a side panel.
They’ll probably fix it eventually.
Periodically for a few hours or a day F only loads 7 or 8 posts on and Next Page jumps me 50 posts so it misses a lot.
