Reddit looks all screwed up in Safari (pic inside). Cleared cache and everything. Looks fine in Firefox.

This is what my reddit looks like it's like it's only loading the HTML or something. This happened suddenly, and clearing cache did not work. I'm also at home, not at work, so nothing is (or should be) being blocked... how do I fix this?

If you can't see this image, then something on your machine is blocking redditstatic.com

Yup. You can!

It's got to be some sort of browser-specific issue then I'm afraid (confirmed by the fact it works in firefox which I should have read before!). I have no idea how to help, sorry.

It's been reported in bugs: http://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/mdkzw/mac_safari_page_display_is_completely_broken/

It's a known bug in Safari triggered when sites refer to included stylesheet or javascript files with a .gz file extension, which Reddit.com started doing today, probably something to do with their switch to redditstatic.com for those things.

oh OK, so it seems like it should be fixed soon from what I understand.

Thanks.

Go to Develop on your top bar, then click Enable Styles

Styles are enabled. It's been working just fine for 2 years... then it just stopped working from one click to another. I didn't change anything, so I've no clue what it is if it's not coming from reddit.

I'm dumb. What should I try to do? Nothing seems to make a difference.

Wow! That must not be the problem.

Ignore this suggestion, it won't work.

The problem is on reddit's end, not yours (well - it's possible it's on yours too, but unlikely - since you're here right now)

I thought I was the only one. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it. My Firefox is working fine. :(

Seems reddit may have introduced a bug; same thing has happened to me since I hit "refresh" this morning - no styles.

Every other site works fine. Every other browser works fine, but then, so did Safari, yesterday...

Are you using NoScript? If so, you need to whitelist redditstatic.com.

1
CoffeeeeffoCOP•

I don't know what NoScript is, so probably not...

Heads up: static stuff has been moved to amazonaws for now (see edit).

CoffeeeeffoCOP•

I can see the image (it's all the reddit buttons and whatnot right?)

Should I be getting worried :(

And it's Safari-specific, so it can't be that I'm being blocked.

I had that in chrome too. But it fixed itself. So I never looked into the reason for why it happened.

I have the same problem. I cleared cache, cookies, history, uninstalled RES... it also prevented me from submitting anything on Reddit.

Eventually I grabbed FireFox as a temp fix. Hopefully they'll fix that bug soon...
