Title: Click a link, get exploding font?
Post by: Jango Fettish on March 17, 2003, 11:18 PM
Every time I click on a link to a forum, the text just gets massive, and kinda runs over everything else?

Any ideas? I'm totally stumped, and it's annoying.  :-\

Problem has been solved. To correct this , right click anywhere in a page on the forums (not an image) and choose the "Encoding" menu. Select "Cyrllic" as your encoding type. This should solve the problem. If you still have difficulty when on the site or forums, please relay the information to a staff member. :)

It's fixed now.  I agree with Jango Fettish about the problem... I also noticed that same problem.  Thanks for fixing it.

Ahh, good thing I checked here first to see if this had been addressed...all better  :D

Ok, maybe not...when I add the smiley it explodes immediately.  how come??

Left and came back:
Nope, it didn't work for me, I picked the windows version (there are five to pick from) same exploding font...now to find a staff member....

It's again not working for me too.  I have done the "Cryllic" thing, cleared my cache, and it's still problematic.

Any other ideas?

Did you guys find a way to fix this.  I have this happing to me now.  ANd I tried the encoding stuff which works only on the page that you are on then when I exit it goes back to the bigger font.

Darth Kenobi, please post your Operation System and Internet Browser and version. You can try this before though, it may work. If you use Internet Explorer:

Go to Tools -> Internet Options

In the middle of the window that appears, press "Delete Files". You will be asked to confirm this. After this is complete, below that, choose "Clear History". When that is complete, shut your machine off completely. Turn it back on, open up your browser and try again. If it does not fix this error, try the encoding a few times. I have found that to work when this happened to me the one time that it did. Good Luck!

Chris, I've done that several times but that doesn't help at all.   :-\

As soon as I click a thread, I still get the explosion.  Just thought I'd let you know.  

What's really wierd is when I add a smiley :), it stays that way and all of the smiley's that other's used are enlarged right over the text ???

I actually fixed it by doing a system recovery of my computer and that fixed it.    I have had someother problems with my computer so I decided just to recovery my system so that fixed it and deleted some just like my DSL and my CD for it is MIA. :( >:(

It doesn't work. Now every time I sign onto the forums ,the text is automatically huge. I go to reset it to "user defined", click a link, it gets big again.

In Internet Explorer, go to the Views menu, then Text Size, then on the menu that pops out, choose medium. That should solve the problem.
