Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing an issue where the README.md preview is not rendering in any of my repositories. The files are there (I can view them in raw mode or download them), but the rendered preview in the project overview and file view is missing.
This started happening recently across all my projects, and I’m not sure if it’s related to my account, a configuration, or a possible GitLab bug.
Has anyone else run into this problem, or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Briatore
I just clicked your repo link, and it loaded fine in the browser for me. Perhaps you have some weird browser configuration or plugins that are causing problems.
Thank you for your response, iwalker. I thought the same, but I already tested it in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (including private/incognito mode), and the issue still persists.

It also renders fine here.
I just discovered that you can set “Project overview content” (in your preferences), to “Files and Readme (default)”, “Activity”, “Readme” and “Wiki”. Have you changed that? It can change that page, I can’t see any setting that corresponds to what you experience though (but that might be because we’re still on an old version of GitLab - we’ve had some DB troubles, preventing an upgrade, but they’re solved now, so we’re planning the upgrade).
Thank you for your attention, Grove. It could be as you mentioned, but the issue was happening across all repositories, so I don’t think it was related to the configuration of a single project. Today, without me doing anything, the README.md files in all repositories are displaying again, so I believe there may have been some temporary instability affecting GitLab.
I’m glad to hear that it works again. And just to make it clear: The setting I pointed at was for a user, so it would affect all repositories (but only for that users, consistent with it working for @iwalker and me).
Sounds like a GitLab bug. If the raw files show up, your repos are fine. I’d check their status page or report it to support.
