Does this site not support Google Chrome? My trip report shows up clearly using Internet Explorer but it's all messed up with Chrome.

Looks to be a bug in chrome. Displays fine in firefox.

I use Google Chrome and everything seems fine. Maybe something is wrong with yours

I ran some tests with a smaller image set (see below). When I hit refresh, Chrome displays correctly about 10% of the time. 90% of the time it displays things out of order. This makes no sense. It should repeat the same behavior 100% of the time. I downloaded the page to my local machine and turned off the internet connection to rule out a virus on the server, flaky internet connection, etc. but duplicated the exact same phenomenon. I think this is a Chrome bug and not something on our end. I also tried clearing cache, resetting Chrome to defaults, etc. to no avail. I would try downloading the most recent version of Chrome to see if it fixes the issue. Test: Image A should follow:

Image C should follow:

Image C should be above.

Tom, I have the most recent version of Chrome installed on my machine. One odd thing, it appears correctly on my Android phone which also uses Chrome.

I changed a few things around and Chrome seems to be behaving now. Let me know if you see other strange stuff happening. What I changed shouldn't have made any difference. Edit: Grr, seems to be back to misbehaving. Completely random. confused.gif

OK, figured out the problem. For each picture we call a javascript function to check the remaining width on the screen before we display it to figure out whether we need to wrap / start a new row. It seems Chrome does not necessarily wait for each call to finish before it starts writing the rest of the output so things get jumbled.

Awesome, thanks! Let me know when the fix is in place and I'll remove that obnoxious disclaimer from my trip report. I'm surprised I was the first to notice this issue.

OK, put in a fix that seems to make Chrome behave 100% of the time now. Let me know if you experience any other issues.

Wow, how on earth does one figure that kind of thing out??? I can figure out multitudes of electronic mis-behaviors, but soft/firmware issues befuddle me mostly. Thanks for all the effort!
