A couple of months ago, I updated to the latest version of ECT Cart. I'm running 8.0.0. My website is very old and table based. I know table based layouts are prehistoric, but I don't have the time, nor the money to make huge changes. The website is just a sideline for extra cash, not my main source of income, and I still get orders.

I had a few glitches which I thought were fixed. The browser I use most often is Firefox. I never thought to check other browsers . . . until today. The site looks fine in Firefox and Safari (at least on my laptop they do). But I happened to look at it in Google Chrome today and it's a mess:

Cam someone tell me if they see the same mess as I do, and if so, is there a way to fix?

It looks fine (yet outdated) to me.
Perhaps clear your cache.

Thanks so much Mike.

Yes, I know it's outdated, but it's still bringing in orders.

I cleared the cache and it still looks like a mess. The left side is what it should look like (nice and orderly), and the right side is what it looks like to me (a chaotic jumble).

Hopefully to you (or anyone else) it looks like the left side. If it does, then I'm not gonna worry.

looks the same in Chrome and Firefox for me - at least at full width.
Highly recommend an update to the layout.
Thanks,
David

Thanks David. I would love nothing more than to update the layout. I'm a retired individual with a very small budget. Gas, health care, mortgage, electricity, groceries, etc. cost a whole lot of money, at least here in America. There is not much left for updating a website, unless you know someone who can do it very inexpensively.

You can purchase a new template here for a very low cost. You can buy just a template without needing to purchase the cart again.
There are also free website templates online.
All you do is follow the instructions for implementing the "generic version" to plug the cart into any design. I can get you the instructions if needed.
I could probably freshen your site over a weekend for a reasonable price too.
If you do not have the ability to implement a new template from ect, click my user name and send a message to discuss.
A fresh design might give you a boost to help that budget...

Thanks,
David
