**SEE UPDATE BELOW - 9/30/2016**
Attention to all of the fine folks that utilize Google Chrome to access Maintenance Connection! It has come to our attention that the most recent release of Google Chrome (release 53) is causing formatting issues within the MC application.

To see what version of Chrome you currently have, go to "Settings", and select the "About" tab on the left hand (or type chrome://help/ and press "Enter" into the address bar
There have been multiple CSS related issues submitted to Google, and can be tracked from their bug tracking webpage. I have submitted an official issue request to Google and would encourage all users to do the same. To submit an issue click the Chrome Menu, Help, then Report an Issue. If you need additional guidance this article will walk you through the process of submitting issues for Chrome.

We installed Chrome Canary, which is Google’s bleeding edge daily build (unstable), and can confirm that the problem no longer exists. The good news is that we know the fix is coming - the bad news is that we cannot tell you how quickly that may be. If our suspicions are correct, it shouldn’t be long…
