    I'm having an intermittent problem with one website running Evo 1.0.10 that occasionally loses all custom styling on the front end. The site content shows up fine, but as though the CSS has been removed or turned off. When I log in and clear the cache in MODx everything returns to normal. This occurs infrequently enough that it isn't a real problem, I can just log in and clear the cache, but I was wondering if there was a more permanent solution.

    The website has been running on Evo since before Revo came out (can't remember the original version number). The site is hosted by Dreamhost on their standard setup, and other sites running on the same specs don't have the same issue.

    Is this something that other people have experienced?

      Check the disk usage for the site. The only thing I can think of is that if you're very close to maxing out your disk usage the cache files could be getting corrupted as MODx tries to write to them.

        I just checked but Dreamhost says I have unlimited disk usage. I cleared up the overhead on the MYSQL tables from within MODx and at the moment I'm just waiting and seeing how it goes. I also fixed up a problem with the save_settings.processor.php file that was creating a fake settings_version warning in the System Event Log.

        The problem was so infrequent that I may not know whether or not it's fixed for a long time.

          I've gotten that from time to time; I even get it on this site sometimes. It's more of a local connection and browser problem in my case. Yesterday the forums were scrambled almost half the time, they seem to be doing better today.

          Are you compressing your js and css files in any way? I think that can have something to do with it as well.

            I don't have any custom java - only that which has been supplied with packaged snippets like MaxiGallery. My CSS is uncompressed as well. I haven't even changed it from it's original, most human readable format.

                Sometimes that's the only explaination laugh

                Thanks for your help. I'll keep an eye on the site for now and see if it goes silly again. Will probably be months before anything happens if it is going to happen.
