Hmm.. interesting..  

MSIE here.. and it looks fine.

That's odd. In your screen shot it's perfect but on my screen the text is oversized and cramped top to bottom. If I knew how to post a pic in the forums I would take a screen shot and show you what we mean.


edit: I just noticed that I am not allowed to post images yet.

using IE7 here

[scottydawg]

Yeah, looks ok to me in IE6.

Something about the formatting or style sheets. Are you using Joomla?

Don't be.  You pointed out that there are issues with the appearance of the primary venue we use for event information on the system you are using.

Personally, I had no idea that Firefox and MSIE 7 would display it differently. ( though I'm not, in the least bit, surprised about Firefox)

As noted, there were 2 others with the same issue... and those are just the ones that bothered to respond.

Now, hopefully, the proposed resolutions provided a fix for you.  If they did, you learned something.  If not, then there're still compatibility issues that we need to be aware.

Woops, I forgot to put at the end of that post.

It appears to be a css issue with Firefox, as my fonts are set to normal in FF and it displays like RATTFINK's, however in IE6 with normal fonts it looks OK.

It looks like bold is on for the entire post in there, perhaps reformatting it without bold and with a slightly smaller font would help readability.

edit: css is an abbreviation for 'cascading style sheet' and is used frequently with CMS packages to provide consistent styling over the entire site.  It holds information such as default fonts and sizes, color schemes and other formatting information.

Does it look better to both the IE and Firefox users now?

Not better for me.. I like larger fonts, but that's ok. I should know what it all says, right?

Thanks forHIM!

Looks perfect now! Thanks!
