Here’s a further point of interest. If I log into the site admin dashboard on any of these browsers the slideshow then appears normally in that browser. When I’m logged in, the file header link changes:
<link
rel='stylesheet'
id='cyclone-slider-plugin-styles-css'
href='http://www.mydomain.com/?cyclone_templates_css=1&ver=3.5'
type='text/css'
media='all' />
I’d changed the theme during testing, but that doesn’t affect the behaviour:
- logged in as an administrator, Cyclone Slider 2 works fine;
- not logged in, it’s not styled.

A further note. Yes, I was logged into the site on the browsers I tested on Ubuntu 12.04.

I’ve temporarily copied all the required css into my theme’s style.css. This isn’t a long-term solution, but it’s better than nowt.
Thanks for reporting this pengo.
Strange you seem to be the only one experiencing this problem. If you go directly to the css link:
http://www.mydomain.com/?cyclone_templates_css=1
what do you see?
BTW ?cyclone_templates_css=1 is generated by cyclone to display the css.

The link
href='http://www.mydomain.com/?cyclone_templates_css=1&ver=3.5'
is fine and displays the correct stylesheet. But the link only appears in the header when I’m logged in as an administrator. If I’m not logged in, the link is presented as
href='http://www.mydomain.com/'
This is the crux of the problem. I don’t know what could be stopping the stylesheet link from being fully formed when I’m not logged in as an administrator.
I don’t think it is a Win7 isssue…
I tried this plugin on a few of my websites and noticed that the styles were very messed up ONLY when I viewed the site from a web browser that wasn’t logged into my WordPress admin.
I took a look at the non-logged in view of my site with FireBug in a FireFox browser and noticed it was missing styles for the slider but not the script that changes the slider.
I simply took the stylesheet that was in the files for the plugin and pasted them into my main stylesheet for my theme’s styles.css. Once I uploaded my new stylesheet the problem was fixed in IE, FireFox, and Chrome.
I would just comment out the section of your stylesheet for your theme where you paste the styles so you know where they are if you need to access them again.
