Here is a troubleshooting step and I do this to point the finger at Comcast when their CSR tries to blame my computer. You need another Internet connection such as a mobile broadband card or a neighbor who has another ISP who will let you use their WiFi (and do it with their permission, of course) and you connect the computer in question to another ISP.

I have used a mobile broadband card (mobile hotspot MiFi type device) to rule out my computer when a Comcast CSR gave me the "it's not our problem" attitude.

tshirt posted : Well it's not solved. (though i have tried disabling everything I know of that could block it) the version of that page I get has a dozen or so script errors on that page only, the other versions have the CSS and all scripts strictly within the same domain (other then ads which I don't miss)
I'll ask some local people to see if they get the same effect.

airwavz posted : I've noticed a bunch of sites doing this lately - not sure if moving the CSS to another domain / IP address is a security thing or what, but it does screw with the pages if you use any type of blocking add-ons. Glad you found it; here's to progress eh?!?

Do not track me (latest version, formerly known as do not track plus) but the pages worked fine before with this version and turning it off does not help.

edit :It appears that the CSS is in a different domain which I am blocking

Yeah even a great web design* wouldn't help that. ;)

* something they don't have a clue about
hint #1- Not everything is better in video form

For whatever reason most of the graphic elements a formating on the US page is not working right, mexico and other editions are fine. clear cache rebooting and browser changes have no effect
