Okay, have you tried to reload that page by pressing "r" or "R" ?? Becasue I have face the same and get back stuff by that. There certainly have tons of other reason ...but the getting the content can be achieved by that.

This is certainly not convenient ...but at least get you going....need more information and investigation .

@unixbhaskar I suppose updating components (dependencies) like webkit2gtk with which vimb is compiled to a more recent version could perhaps help the situation maybe a little @fanglingsu?

@marek-lach Compiling vimb again could help in some cases. In the moste cases I've seen in the past with webkit, disabling JavaScript helped a lot. But the new modern pagers are normally empty without JavaScript.
