Maximus84 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 No one's ever gonna believe me, but this is completely true. I was having problems with a database today and I went to Microsoft's KB Article DB to try to find a solution. Everything looked good until I refreshed the page. Suddenly, the knowledge base article I was looking at went BACKWARDS! I went to support.microsoft.com and it was backwards too! I talked to other people and called some friends to try and verify, but everone else's looked normal. I thought maybe someone had hacked my PC, but I'm on a corporate network behind 2 firewalls and a crapload of protection. I have no idea what happened, and I'm a System Administrator! Take a look: Here's support.microsoft.com. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/546212-microsoft-kb-in-reverse/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokeripa Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Was it only Microsoft pages doing this? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/546212-microsoft-kb-in-reverse/#findComment-588395428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAXD Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Probably a logical explaniation for this, something like the wrong css was being downloaded, or wrong region setting was somehow passed to that peticular web server.

Maximus84 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Was it only Microsoft pages doing this? It is only support.microsoft.com that I see this happening on, and not all the time. Sometimes when I refresh the page, it goes back to normal.

Denis W. Veteran Posted March 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2007 If that happens, try right clicking the page, Encoding, and click Left-To-Right document.

Maximus84 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 If that happens, try right clicking the page, Encoding, and click Left-To-Right document. This doesn't cause the same symptoms. It moves some of the information to the left side instead of the right, but not like I'm seeing it.
