CSS for Stack Overflow didn't load

Question

I originally thought this was a mobile-theme related issue, but it is not. The css of the page does not load.

I guess I could clear my browser's cache. Is there any other option?

Edit: I do not have the "full site" option at the very bottom :(

Edit2: this is not an issue with the mobile theme. Here's my data according to the requests from this post

Answer 1

This is not the mobile theme, the static resources aren't getting loaded. Try a hard refresh, if that doesn't work, try clearing your cache. You might be having problems reaching the cdn,. There are some troubleshooting steps posted here that you could try if that is the case.

Answer 2

I found my problem: I had disabled HTTP 1.1 on IE9 when working on something else and I forgot to turn it back on. Once it was back on the problem went away.

Answer 3

In my case, I tried all the regular things: Clearing browser data (cache and history), testing other networks and even a hotspot, hard refresh (Shift + F5), rebooting, disabling my antivirus; none of these had any effect. My problem wasn’t just with SO, but with other sites as well, and from various countries. I was surprised to realise the solution: What did make the difference, was disabling Adblock. I tried reloading the page after reenabling AdBlock, and the CSS was again not loading.

Solution № 3: Disable Adblock. This is how you do it:

• At the top of you browser, there is an icon displaying a stop sign with a stopping hand embossed on top of it. If your Adblock is running, the stop sign is red.
• Click the icon, then choose either ‘Pause on this site’ or ‘Pause on all sites’; the sign will turn green with a thumbs up symbol embossed.
• Refresh the page regularly (F5), or if that doesn’t work, do a hard refresh (Shift+F5).

As commented by @Markus Pscheidt, if this method works, one can open the same menu as described above, and select ‘Don’t run on this page’, which disables AdBlock for the entire site.
