so i lose all the background and formatting in chrome.

it's never happened before.

if i open IE its ok, but i HATE IE.

i've looked thru site options and chrome options, but neither one fixes anything. it's all white like the css got lost.

 

Interesting, I use Chrome as my primary browser and have never seen the site load as you described. Try and clear your cache and cookies and see if that fixes the problem.

 

you win, sir. can't believe i forgot to do that first and foremost. brain fart friday!

 

Haha, no worries man. Glad that worked for you.

 

I also recommend you download and install this "Hotfix"
