Font sizes going nuts this evening

    Suddenly, I'm seeing sig links that are gargantuan (that means really really big for those of you in California or Oregon), not to mention the thing at the top of the page that says

    This is an ad revenue sharing forumPut Your Advertisement Here (sic)

    What are you up to now, Shawn? :eek: :eek:

    Addendum:

    I'm also noticing that the Skype button image is missing on posts for people that display it.

    Is it happening only on DP? Could be your browser settings.

    I too noticed the skype image missing since I just added mine tonight.

    It's probably your browser?

    Clear your cache, Minstrel Sir.

    It's not happening on any other site and it's only certain posts - I think those using a non-standard font setting.

    Addendum:

    Nope. I cleared the browser cache. Still the same funky big letters at the top of this page.

    OK never mind...

    New keyboard with a "zoom" bar that had been "zoomed". Certain text with non-standard fonts were "zoomed" up as a result... :eek:

    Try <Control>- a couple of time and see if that does it.

    Or if you have one of those silly "zoom" levers, "zoom" it down.

    Or go to View | Text size in Internet Explorer and choose the "Medium" setting.

    I have been seeing some problem with skype button as well. But if you look at the source that thumbnail is coming from is skype.com, so i think this image problem is with skype.com.

    You are correct.

    Bad way to do it. Should download a copy of the button to the local server. Pages will load faster and you won't be caught like this if Skype goes down again.

    It's supposed to give you live info if the user is online or not (which is why it can't be local). But if they don't get their crap together soon, it will go away completely.
