Hi All

I just found out something new today that was driving me crazy.  I use IE8 for my browser and all of a sudden things started looking crazy on the site.  Text was being cut off at the top by a couple of pixels, then the tabs in the Account setting screen were all a mess.  Also saw problems in the forum editor and the icons for the tool bar were all blurry.  I posted at glFusion the issue and Mark gave some good answers but the problem was still there.  Finally I made the discovery that it was not the program but the browser.  On other sites I saw the same problem, but did not see them on my home computer just my work computer.  So I started looking around in the settings for the browser, text size - this was not the problem.  So then I looked at zoom and found that in custom the zoom was at 110, so I changed it back to 100 and the problem was solved.  This is good info to keep in mind when you think the problem is the program, it may be the browser.

Hope this may be helpful for others out there.

Thanks

Lee

Lee,

I have my laptop set at 125% so I can see! Geek  I keep my office one set at 100%. I know it can be frustrating. If I try to do anything with my site or blog using the laptop, I need to remember to re-set it to 100%. If not I will be spending a lot of time moving things around the screen just so I can see them Shifty
