In the past hour my Safari has lost all formatting for Reddit. Basically all I am getting is the text of any Reddit page but nothing else. It looks a right mess. Anyone else? I have changed nothing with my Safari for this to happen, I just refreshed a page and it went from normal to awful. Am currently on Firefox and its working fine. I've just re-set Safari in the hope that would help but its not.

Me too. Looks like a style sheet issue for the default reddit look. I use that look across all my sub-reddits. The apple-esque style for the /apple sub-reddit still renders fine if not logged in. Edit: display options allow reddits to show me custom styles <-- not working fine...
Thanks. Good to know its not just me having issues.
Latest Safari on Windows 7 does work fine though. Looks like just Safari on a Mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)
I'm having this issue also, in Safari on Snow Leopard. Works fine in other browsers on that machine. Also works fine in Safari on another machine running Lion.
It started at about 1pm ET or so and drove me crazy for a couple hours trying to figure it out. I'm also glad to hear it's not just me.

Same here. Safari on 10.5.8
This is definitely an issue for me as well. Both in Safari 5.1.1 and Safari 5.0.5
I have seen this before but only fleetingly and usually a reload cured the issue. This time it appears to be here to stay. :-/
If you check the link just posted from the bugs subreddit, looks like TPTB at Reddit are aware of the issue and are currently tweaking things to sort it out. I am NOT computer minded, so by tweaking I mean doing some clever stuff that is beyond my comprehension!!
Thank you for the quick response. I've just searched on Safari across reddit to establish current situational knowledge. Hopefully this'll be worked out in short order.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one experiencing this.
Off-topic-but-related: Reddit on Google Chrome is even acting up. Anyone know what's up?
I had to switch to Chorme to browse reddit :( -First world problems....
I have the same problem! Now using FireFox.
Same here...now i'm using safari. Weep.
Same here

I should have come here first instead of pulling my hair out for the last 6 hours, ah well camino looks like a blast from the past as a browser. Can't complain it got me here.
10.5.8 on a G4mac mini powerpc
Same issue. Using Chrome now.
Empty your cache? Reddit updated their style sheet recently, so that might have something to do with it.
Woke up this morning and its working fine now. Looks like they have fixed it. It was nothing to do with anyone's Safari - problem at the Reddit end.
I had the same problem using Chrome 16 on Windows 7 x64 yesterday.
Bug reported. http://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/mdkzw/mac_safari_page_display_is_completely_broken/
It's a known issue if you google for Safari and gzip and stylesheets. Safari seems to be paying undue attention to the filename of the included stylesheet. Reddit changed their html to point to the stylesheet with a .css.gz name instead of just .css, probably as part of their move to redditstatic.com for hosting some of their stuff, which is causing problems for some other people with noscript/RES/etc installed.
Ah, thanks for that. Its good to know its in hand!
