ie, the developer working on this revision was working in Windoze, in full screen mode in his browser, when he made the final review of the code :P

All of the sudden the boards are very squished and cut for me, in a comparable manner like visable at Glim's screenshot. I tried several things that were recommended but it wont change. Any ideas?

I am using Internet Explorer and it worked all fine till..recently.

Thanks

I think someone is trying to tinker with the settings, I am sure it will return to normal shortly.

Well all of a sudden I am getting the smooshed forum too. In both Mozilla Firefox AND Internet Explorer. It's odd because the forum was not smooshy earlier on for me and only became such today..

Yeah, it was fine for me originally, but with these new settings I'm getting this:

With text over-lapping, and icons un-aligned. I'm assuming this is the same thing the above posters are experiencing?

I'm sure it'll get sorted out soon enough. (Or maybe Mask is trying to obfuscate all the information contained herein... Oh I am teh witty).

Yeah, that's exactly what's happening. I'm pretty sure if -everyone- is experiencing it then it's just board settings that are being worked on.

It's fine for me ! Try a shift-reload to ensure that you are getting a fresh copy of all relevant html/css.

That's odd, I posted yesterday and can't find it anymore.

The font size and spacing seems to be too much now. And everything is bolded.
Firefox v2, IE 7, xp sp2

Anyone else having this problem?

Everything is bigger and bolded, but sooooo much better than the squishy. And I don't have to have it full screen either :) .

I think this is much better. Just turned my font down a bit and it looks great

The forums seem a bit busted right now, I know others have had this trouble as well. Everything is overlapping and smushed together. I'm using Mozilla and it was working before, but now tis not.

Same here. What I did was:
Ctrl+reload to empty out the cached data

Which results in the forum display not being squished up, but with big and bold and awkward to read text.

So a few ctrl+minus to resize the fonts, and we're all gravy.
