On my (Safari) browser, and as of basically yesterday, the page that appears after you "Log Out" appears not to have styles assigned to it. The page appears with the usual content but in "browser default" type-faces and so forth.

We haven't made any changes on our end that would impact this, but I'll take a closer look. Has Safari changed their mixed-content policy recently?

I just duplicated this with Firefox 50.1.0 and with Vivaldi 1.4.589.38 on Slackware --Current.

A Vivaldi screenshot would have been similar.

Yes, I know it's a login failed screeshot in Firefox because I bumbled the pword, but the results were the same as logging out was when I first tested.

Nope... somebody changed something at your end. Really. It has to be ...

Yup, me too! Not that it bothers me.

Here too, Seamonkey on Linux.

It's happening because (1) the post-logout page is HTTPS even though your LQ session was HTTP, (2) like all pages it loads a CSS style sheet via HTTP, and (3) your browser is set to block mixed content, so the style sheet does not load.

On Seamonkey, under Preferences - Privacy & Security - SSL/TLS, there is a setting "Don't load insecure content on encrypted pages". If checked, you get the naked post-logout page. If unchecked, you get the pretty one.

Firefox is too dumbed-down to bring this setting out the UI, but there is an about:config entry for it. But changing it to 'true' (allow mixed content) is generally a bad idea.

Also, notice that the "post-logout" screen also continues to show the "logged in" status information in the upper right hand corner. (It has always done this.)

To clarify, all other LQ pages load css via https if you are browsing via https, it is only the logout page that currently exhibits this behavior. I would not recommend making that change solely for LQ.

This is unrelated and due to the way the page rendering is cached. You are indeed logged out (which a page reload or subsequent click to LQ can confirm).

Thanks for the update.
