I've been a dvdtown reader for quite some time and while I welcome the new site layout I've noticed articles no longer show correctly on the new site. The first lines of a paragraph are showing but then it's blank space until the next paragraph. fwiw, it's happening on both safari 5 and firefox 9, OS X 10.7.2. Sadly the reviews and various articles are simply unreadable.

That's odd.  I just checked on several reviews and news articles using the latest PC editions of Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer, and everything comes up perfectly.  I wonder if the problem only affects a Mac browser?

Could you post a screen shot of the issue?

Yes, please post a screen shot and the URL for the page that is not working.

Here are 2 screenshots from the Rum Diary Blu-ray review (in safari). In the second one I've selected portions of text that apparently should be here but are not visible.

This is very strange. I use Mac OS X and have never seen this.

Can I get you to click on "About Safari" and give me the exact version number for the browser?

Also, thanks a lot for your patience in helping us resolving this issue.

well...... I'm at work right now and up until this morning I used OS X 10.7.1 with safari 5.1, and at home 10.7.2 with if I'm not wrong safari 5.1.2. Both had the bug. Now I just updated to 10.7.3 here at work, which includes safari 5.1.3 and everything looks fine now. I just opened the Rum Diary review and this time, the first time actually since the new site's layout, I could read the actual review! cool ...I also opened the In Time review , no problem either. Firefox looks fine too.

 

I know it happened with safari 5.1.2 cause I've tried numerous times from home with no success. What's strange is that if something was wrong with my system (work) how come to different systems with different OS versions showed the exact same bug? Anyways... it seems fixed and I'll confirm later once I'll have installed the 10.7.3 at home; just to let you know... Strange, but I'm glad the OS update somehow fixed this.
