[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1821355, member: 110816"] OK, you are missing the CSS which likely means that you are either blocking or being blocked by the site that contains that code. That site or something similar also likely houses the actual Dropbox download. I'm not sure how technically savvy you are, but let's try a little bit of sleuthing. :) In Chrome, open up the Developer Tools (Option+CMD+i) and select the Network tab. If you see any content in there, hit the Circle with the diagonal line next to the Red dot on top to clear the contents. Now load or re-load the Dropbox site and you will see a number of requests and responses. For the Status column, you ideally want to see 200 in there and in the Waterfall column will be a green bar. Any place you see 404 or a red bar indicates that your browser had an error accessing something. Once you get a few of these logs, click on the red dot to STOP recording any further transactions and now you can scroll around and see what's going on. Look at the Name of the failing (404 and/or red bar) lines to see what they say. If it contains the ending .CSS, that would explain the graphics issue you have. Take note of the URL/Domain that is being used to access that content and we can investigate that further. Additionally, do you have any extensions running on your browser or network limiting software outside? If so, do you have blocks/gates enabled that prevent a website to jump to multiple sites to get its content? A lot of websites that have a LOT of traffic will put static assets (images, CSS, scripts, audio, downloads) on different sites or subdomains than the primary site to avoid bottlenecks. For example, you visit dropbox.com, but it's assets could be on assets.dropbox.com or some other CDN (Content Delivery Network) that has a totally different domain and if your extension says you are visiting dropbox.com and I will only allow stuff from dropbox.com, then all other access will fail and you get bad output on the screen.
