What's up with the "bigger" forum?

Post by cjensen »

I keep checking other sites to see if it's my screen, but they're all the same...

What's up with the "bigger" forum Spike? All the previously posted pics are slightly blurry, and the emoticons are blurry too...

Did you make a change, or did I do something???

:?

Welcome to getting older. Everything is blurry to me. Sometimes it helps.

I haven't noticed a change to anything. Maybe you messed up your browser settings?

Actually I see what you guys mean. Are you using FireFox by any chance? I ask because with Safari and Internet Explorer it looks like the old standard size. But FireFox seems to have enlarged fonts and graphics on the forum.

I am using firefox and IE and don't see it. By some chance did you change the resolution on your computer? Change font size in the browser? etc?

I have tried on 3 different machines and don't see any differences.

I use Firefox at home, and here at work (the icon is a blue and orange sphere, Weez, for Firefox, and a blue "e" with a gold ring around it for Explorer). I have a newer version of FF with the latest Phishing on my machines at home, so here at work, it's the standard size we're all used to.

I checked all the settings on the home machines, and nothing has changed. The forum changed early afternoon on Sunday for me.

The other thing it's doing, is when you scroll down thru a thread, it scrolls fine until a picture appears, then it jumps like it's trying to load the graphic. As soon as it's passed, the scroll is normal again.

This is weird...

When did you update Firefox? I don't think I am running the latest. Maybe Ill upgrade a machine and take a look.

That's the other weird thing...I updated probably three weeks ago. :?

I'm gonna take another look at the settings tonight, but I never did get in to any settings mode over the weekend.

It's really not that big a deal, I'm just trying to figure out the change. :)

There's a medical-technical term for all of this... PEBCAK.

Chad, are you really giving up building time to try to get a forum to look "just right"? :wink:

It's not all in your head Chad. I saw the same thing. And yes, back to normal.

Maybe it was some sort of government experiment. I'm wearing my tin foil hat to bed tonight.
