Odd App Store Update Page

The App Store Update window is formatted all wrong, as though it is a webpage with the css missing.


It's the same on my laptop as well.


I'm using High Sierra 10.12.6


Any ideas? The other windows in the App Store look fine.


Thanks.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.12

MIA (Missing In Action).


If it isn't us, it is on Apple's end for the Mac App Store. It is a web page in an app, just like the iTunes store. Therefore it is missing its CSS for this generation of Mac App Stores. 10.11 is also doing the same thing. A few weeks ago it was just fine. I know lots of Mac users using 10.11 or 10.13, so this will effect lots of people.


10.14 is a different version of the Mac App Store, with its own CSS, and is therefore unaffected.


I have seen no evidence that it isn't on Apple's end. I hope they fix it but since it isn't "supported", they might not. They did fix the web end for the Apple TV 1st Gen several years ago to make it last one more year, so there is hope. That took a full month before it was fixed and many people contacted Apple directly to complain.


Hope that clears up your questions.
