Mine went back to normal after clearing the cache (whatever that is?) :D

So a browser stores a locale copy of certain files that a website uses. The means faster load times as you don't need to download the same files over and over with every request. These kind of files normally contain certain scripts you'd use to interact with a site or stylesheets that describe how a site should look. This is called the browser's cache.

Forum upgrades may have made big changes to these files and since your browser isn't getting the latest version from the server you need to manually clear your cache to force the browser to download the latest version.

Hope that makes sense
You’ve just doubled my knowledge of kompootering, thanks :P

Flippin' heck. Just had the same problem - massive spaces! WTF :|

It's taken me half an hour to sort it. Cleared cache four times, now all back to normal. Phew! :thumbsup:
