same to me also scott . . . . no change. I noticed a few days ago.


This has been happening to me for a few months now and thought it was me. I load the CC home page, i can see the favicon and then i get a blank screen and nothing happens. Hyper links are active but no text shows up on my screen. I hit refresh and everything shows up. I am running IE 8. I have not seen this happen on the forum pages but i never go there first. Always the CC home page.....

That's why I had to abandon Firefox. It did that on every site. Got to where refresh wouldn't work – had to highlight the URL and hit Enter several times. Chrome started behaving the same way yesterday, IE9 still worked, just slow. I haven't been able to watch videos due to non-stop buffering. Tried nosing around my router (thinking maybe it's some ATT-Uverse setting). Re-starting the router seems to have woke something up. I've gone from a download speed of 0.80 Mbps to 11.6 Mbps since the re-set. I might even be able to use Firefox now :D

But I'm still typing this in courier-new :P

Either I'm blind or I don't see this change anywhere? Or I'm on my little netbook that just doesn't recognize it.

One thing I remember happening to me a while back (couple years ago I think or less) is that the text was really really horrible for me all of a sudden one day and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was going on. It had changed from the nice normal text to helvetica which is horrible looking. Every single thing on CC site and a bunch of others (but not all) changed.

I searched for weeks before I finally realized that it was the html email program High Impact Email 5 that installed that font on my computer and it changed it all over the place.

I finally had to uninstall that program just to get rid of that font because they used that font for the program itself as well as the HTML for the email templates lol. Man that was a stumper!

At least my email lets me choose what fonts to use.

Guess I'm going to have to get used to my posts looking like something from a 40 year old typewriter :lol: Someone pass the white-out! :lol:

Has anyone tried Waterfox (64 bit Firefox offering)?
Just installed it to see if it speeds things up a bit. Haven't tried it out, though, came straight over here to see if the forum post font was back to normal.

Mine just went back to normal. Scott must have thrown thrown the light switch for me in the garage.;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi all, I just made a tweak to the global typography stylesheet for the site. Please clear cache, etc., reload the page and let me know if you still see dreaded Courier.

It works fine here also. Now I have greasy fingers for the netbook keyboard from eating snacks over here. Can you fix the problem with greasy fingers on keyboard.

Now I wanted J to just make a post and say it works for him to make a few of you think you were nuts. JoAnn so loves it when I do that with to her. ;)
