Anyone getting a large font in forum display - New England Patriots Forums

RelocatedPatFan · 09-20-2011, 12:10 PM

For some reason, starting today (and it wasn't first thing this morning) the font size in thread listing is large and/or bolded? The font appears to be normal going into threads.

I haven't changed browsers (IE 8) and no upgrades to the best of my knowledge.

EDIT: Actually thr page usually comes up normal and it seems to be some type of post page loading that forces the font change. Only happens on this site for me.

Loading correctly here for me in IE 8 - can you post a link along with a screenshot of what you're seeing so I can try and duplicate it here on my end?

I'll play around with things for a little bit before you go to any trouble. If it's just me, it must be a configuration on my side that somehow changed (maybe one of my kids accidentaly changed something).

I get them when I'm logged out. Don't seem to get them when I'm logged in.

It's an ad issue, I finally had it happen to me and figured that out. One of them keeps coming through with broken code but they haven't had any luck pinpointing the problem. It's more frustrating because I'm at work can't do anything about it from here on my end either.

something's definitely different, but I don't think it is the font size.

I am getting a compressed view of the topics it is intermittent , sometimes it is fine.

The posts themselves are fine.

I am using Chrome.

I had this too, on Firefox on a PC.

On my Mac in both Safari and FF and on my iTouch, I'm getting the "WELCOME TO OUR FORUM HERE AT PATSFANS.COM!" box even though I'm logged in.

Agreed it is an ad (the one at the top of the screen).

I set my security profile to be the highest and now that it blocks that ad, everything is fine. When it was happening it moved the ad from center to left (not that I know what that means).

I do get ads from this site that pop up as warnings to my security software (just as an fyi).

Yup, I get this too, and the ad is causing the bold font for me as well.
