My browser's messing up or something because a few weeks ago some of the online font got huge and quite obvious. That was okay, ugly, but okay. Now it's shrunk down to a width of about a 16nth of an inch for each letter. As you can imagine, that's extremely hard to read.

Since the font on the board is not effected I have come to the conclusion that this font is defined while the font in the terms of service is not. If I am right, is there something that can be done?

So that's a no? I'm afraid I have to use what I have. I guess I won't be able to read the terms. I guess it won't matter since no one does, anyway.

555Joshua,

ap-bot gave perfect advice.

Here download the latest version of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Seriously its the best solution, easy and very practical

You see them small pictures and writings on forums, and websites...well get "Image Zoom" for Firefox and zoom in or out as much as you like.

*Its also multi-tabbed, allowing you to open as many tabs in one window and fully adjustable.
*Cooliris Preview, gives website previews in a small box shaped box appearing up while still on the same webpage, after hovering over a link.
*Scrap Book, Weather at the bottom, Image Bot downloads all/selective pictures on a page, ability to switch between IE and Firefox browser while still on the same page, politician search, split link, spell check, Galculator etc...

ALL FREE

Thanks.

555Joshua,

Apart from what I mentioned, pressing Ctrl++, I dunno of any IE "bugs" causing this problem, and nor can it be one, if this site appears well.

One other thing; all a Web browser is, is a translation device, taking a document written in the HTML language and translating it into a formatted Web page. Most finished Web pages will contain at least one HTML error, which can cause display errors.

An HTML error is a spot on the (designed) Web page where official rules of HTML have been violated. For example, you may have two tags that overlap one another in a way that the standards say isn't legal etc.

With HTML ONE particular Web browser might display your Web page without error, BUT another browser may be seriously affected by the same error.

BUT it shouldn't be that either. The Toobar>View>Text Size should clarify this, especially if this site is showing fine.

Sorry, no solution. sad.gif

Thanks.

I believe they did their jobs when they made the webpage. However, I cannot see what the deal is with the font because it's linked as a css style sheet. I still think it's because the font on the terms of service isn't specified. It doesn't matter, anyway.
