SL -- flashing quiz pages? - a2jc4life - 08-01-2018
I just took a quiz in Straighterline's English Comp I -- one of those quizzes where the first "question" is the paragraph all the other questions are based on. That page didn't display properly, though; all the content was there, but it kept jumping back and forth as though it couldn't figure out how to align itself, causing a "flashing" effect that made it impossible to read. Has this happened to anyone else, or is it just me?

I finished this a couple months ago without issue. Have you tried using a different web browser? That sounds like a web client issue. The SL site seems to support all the popular browsers, so it sounds like something odd is going on.
When I run into those kinds of issues, I clear my cache, restart the browser, and try again. If that doesn't work, I reboot and then check Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and sometimes Opera and MS Edge. If the issue exists across multiple browsers, it is a presentation issue on the website. If it's just one browser, it is probably a client incompatibility issue or a config issue in the web client.

hey, following Merlin's advice..i would try Mozilla Firefox..i've noticed no issues with it. The pages load quicker too.

Oddly, I had no issue with any of the other quizzes/pages. Just the one.
