# CSS sometimes properly working, sometimes not

 * I have searched the forum, but in spite of the many reported CSS issues, this
   one I haven’t come across yet.
    The situation is as such: I run two instances
   of WP 3.3.1 on the same domain (both with a theme called “Blaskan”). Here are
   the links [http://www.macostair.com/](http://www.macostair.com/) and [http://www.macostair.com/odd/](http://www.macostair.com/odd/)
   While the main site works as expected, the sub-site acts strange. The relevant
   CSSs appear to be referenced properly each time. Yet sometimes the result is 
   not displayed on the screen. Say, I call [http://macostair.com/odd/technology/mail-client-efficiency/](http://macostair.com/odd/technology/mail-client-efficiency/).
   This page comes up wrong most often – sometimes, it works though. Even though
   it shouldn’t make a difference, I’m using “Abrowser”, a brand-free Firefox. Steps
   tried so far:
    - used another theme (to no avail)
    - deactivated the few plugins and re-activated them one at a time (no difference)
    - deleted and re-installed the entire instance (the biggest waste of time)
 * For the life of me, I cannot see the pattern.
    Clues highly appreciated. Cheers,
   Gerry

 * Meanwhile, I have tried to reproduce this curiosity in 7 different browsers, 
   and it occurs in each of them. It sometimes works, and sometimes it won’t. So
   it’s arguably not to do with the browser.
 * HTML and CSS validation both throw quite a load of errors, but none that would
   account for this behaviour – as far as I could say.

 * All right, this issue is either too exotic or not relevant to the majority of
   WP users. I will mark the thread as “resolved”. I rebuilt both sites in another
   CMS already.
