What exactly does the 'garbage' look like?

Do you have cookies enabled?  disabled? automatically accepted?
(The first thing *I* see when I access that site is a cookie prompt.)

Does this happen with other sites?  other pages on the same site?

How are you using lynx - console, xterm, remote login/dialin?

What is $TERM set to?

How is the 'display character set' set? ('O'ptions screen / lynx.cfg)

What's the screen/window size?  If you can change it, does changing
it change the 'garbage' effect?  Are LINES on COLUMNS environment
variables set; and if so, are they set correctly?

What is the ncurses version?
