Hi,
the HTML file(s) of the "ReAuthorist Guide" seems to be damaged/corrupted:

scroll down 5-6 "screens", and some very interesting characters appear ...

Pages with random characters can happen.. it's usually the browser's fault, which doesn't properly interpret the gzipped output from the server. This happens rarely and completely at random. Usually flushing the browser cache and restarting the browser solves those problems for good. Do not report such issues unless you have flushed your browser cache and independently verified this on another PC using another proxy / ISP and two different browsers on each machine.

hmm, I have never accessed this particular guide on this machine, and I was just browsing around, but flushing the cache did the trick instantly.
interesting to find the the user's browser/proxy/ISP are blamed for not properly reading or passing gzipped content - I bet you don't consider this could be an issue on the webserver's file cache itself? ;)
can't remember to have seen partialy scrambled pages on any other (knowingly gzipped) sites -- with the same ISP :D
well, anyway, sorry for bothering and the "hint"
