• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Site display

My sincerest apologies for this issue. I may have inadvertently made a change several weeks ago that has impacted UI.X availability. I have attempted to restore it just now.

As a test, I logged out, opened a separate browser (Microsoft Edge in this case), cleared my cache, and visited the website to the register page. I scrolled to the bottom where the "Stormtrack Light" theme was indicated...

selected one of the other options, which popped up quickly:

If anyone could confirm that this works for them, I would appreciate it.

Sorry again for the mix-up.
 
Note also: if you're on one of the "janky" display styles, when you click the style chooser button, the list will likely pop "down" at the far bottom of the page (rather than any dialog box popping up).
 
Thanks for responding Jeff! I can confirm that I see the other styles now, and that changing to the "Default Style" option fixes the site rendering issue for me.

The only thing I'll mention is that you probably need to change the sites default style to something that renders properly as well. Testing on MS Edge with history/cache cleared and not logged in as anyone shows the site still janky. Since that will be the default for anyone coming to the site initially I imagine that the user perception will be that there are still problems.
 
Bill, can you try that again and see if the default style that shows up on a fresh visit has changed?
 
Sure. It looks like that works; the new default style is “Default Style”. Looks much better.

Users still experiencing this issue will need to clear their browser cache most likely, or if they’re already logged in, may need to manually choose the new style.
 
Additional note: the style “Stormtrack - UI.X” also seems to render properly. I’m a little limited for additional style testing at the moment as I’m sitting in a hospital waiting room on a tablet but I can look at others later.
 
Thank you Jeff. Mine reverted to Default Style and is working properly again now. I tried Stormtrack Dark and it was back to the messy version, and am now using Stormtrack - UI.X which as Bill says is working fine too.
 
Back during the management transition beginnings there was a Xenforo upgrade that happened. The Xenforo upgrade removed support for some of the styles. So if you come across a style that results in a messed up page, that means it is no longer supported and you should switch to a different style. As far as I know right now there is nothing else that can be done about that.
 
If I click anything it goes back to the stormtrack dark, only goes back to normal if I refresh the page.
