Have any IE users noticed the fonts being too large in the text boxes and dropdown menus? Getting a few complaints and I want to make sure it's not just an isolated problem.

Is this what you were talking about, CC? about my Netscape though? The fonts being to big?

Dare I do this...

*Starts IE4*

Fonts are larger than Netscape allright.
Large enough to mess up the alignment of some of the pictures and text at the top and bottom.

*closes IE4 and goes back to Netscape*

WOW!! I survived it!

I'm using IE5 with the Medium font setting and 1152x864
resolution, and everything looks fine.

It's not the fonts themselves that appear to be the problem for me; it's when they're in the select/drop-down menus such as the one at the bottom. The image becomes disconnected due to this.

I don't seem to have any problems with IE4 (hmm, must remember to load IE5 on this new mega-machine of mine) apart from when I'm clicking back from posting a reply - I keep getting a message saying such-and-such a page cannot be opened. . . but then it goes back anyway, to the confirmation screen and then the Post Reply screen.

And on this new mega-machine, the Forums crash Netscape after 5 minutes and you have to re-start the PC to use them again. . .

I switched over. My IE fonts are set on Large. Everthing looks good, in fact, I think I'll set netscapes larger.
I did however, get a script error when I submitted the post.
