    Site stuck in vBulletin native

    I seem to have lost the "skin" on my laptop. Looks fine on my ipad, so not sure what the issue is.

    I did a search and looked at archive material and lost the skin. I cleaned my cache and it's good, but I'm just curious what causes this?

    I had it happen once and found Rob's post above, leading me to the cure. Then it happened yesterday, so it's not like it's an all the time thing.

Perhaps I need to look into the options and see what I can tweak to prevent this. I had no idea it was happening to people since it's never happened to me.
    It usually happens to me when I follow a link into PF from Google. Seems to set a cookie and once I clear that cookie I get back the PF-specific skin.
    Not all unstyled links from Google do it, but many do.

    It's probably when you go to an archived thread which displays in plain text.

    Thats what just happened to me. Archived thread from google. There is a link at the bottom of the page to see in full version.

    FWIW, I'm having this problem again, both on the iPad and laptop in Chrome, when clicking on search results it sends me to a "native" view and then all of my PF browsing is stuck in native until I come here and click the "reset" link.
