If you're using a URL that contains /self/, that will always show your info. If you're getting a /self/ link on another user's profile, then that's not right.

Ok , here's the URL I got after clicking on my friend's about me page : [ http://www.gamespot.com/users/Uesugi-dono/about_me ]

Still gave me the same screen . Also , I tried clicking on Drac's link above and it gave me the same broken page again after it had worked the first time .

I wonder if it's related to the darkness 2 advert you're seeing. (Just purely guessing here, since you won't always see that same advert).

About me's are all fine for me (and they certainly aren't appearing quite as broken as your screenshot), and as Drac and I don't see ads, that might be the cause.

Is that a recent Firefox, or an older one? I've seen those collapsed divs before on lots of other GS pages, but mostly in a much older browser, and I was never able to nail down why; sometimes reloads would fix the page, sometimes they wouldn't. I also wondered if various ads or external javascript on the page were at fault, but I could never find a deterministic culprit. At the moment I can see the page mentioned in the ancient browser and it looks ok, but I don't have the ads. I'll try in a second while logged out (so I get ads) and if I see something I'll amend this post.
