Display Modes

[romantics]

I was playing around with the display modes on different threads a couple weeks ago, and now it's stuck in Hybrid Mode. It's been kind of frustrating because when I go to change it back to Linear Mode, it will just refresh back to Hybrid. It won't refresh in to Linear Mode at all. Also, once this problem started to occur, a lot of threads stopped loading for me. It stays a blank/white page. I'm not sure if these are two separate problems, or if the two correlate to one another. I would really, really appreciate the help! I don't want to stop using TFS because these problems are really irritating.

Hello romantics... other members have done the same thing. The problems you are having are caused by what you did by changing your mode. As far as I know you will have to report the problem to tech using the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. I'm sorry to inform you to not expect an answer right away as they are very busy with all the sites they support.

If anyone knows another way to deal with this please help! Thank you

I actually already had the same problem, I messed up with the display modes & then I couldn´t change them to the normal. but I dont know what exactly I did to fix it, I´m not sure If closed the browser and opened or uninstalled it

Please try the following (do all steps):

• empty browser cache
• clear cookies
• restart your computer

And see if that clears it up.

When prompted... click Empty to confirm that you want to empty the cache

I have checked your User Control Panel and we show you set at "Linear .. Oldest First" .... which is the normal default setting. So there's nothing we can do at our end ... it has to be something at your end. Did you also clear your cookies, too? Try that, if you haven't done it.
