A week or so ago, when I typed a reply in the forums, the font had changed from Arial to Courier New. :o Is it just me? I can't find any way to change it back to Arial. Arial is still my default font for everything else.
At first I assumed it was a Firefox problem – over the past 2 months it's become just about unusable, finally had to quit using it altogether. But I still get Courier New in the CC forums in Chrome (default font=Arial).

All the forum posts appear in Arial, even my Courier New messages are displayed in Arial once I hit the submit button.

Any ideas?

That is really strange. I get wierd stuff like that happening but it is usually that my browser has not completely loaded the CSS file for that website for some reason.

If it happens to me, the first thing I do is clear my browser memory. Then refresh/reload the screen. It usually cleans it up for me. I have not had it happen on CC's website forums. But has on others.


If you are really curious, you could research it:

If you are in Chrome, and it is still happening, highlight part of the words that the font has gone strange. Then right click and select "inspect Elements".

This will take you to a screen showing the elements and code. In the right hand box you will see under "Styles" what and where the font style is from. Note you will want to make sure that you have "Show inherited" check box clicked so you can all styles effecting that area of the webpage.

I use this often, when I find things not quite right in my own code. Then I find out that I should of added an element to the div class tag to get what I wanted. Since the class I was using did not have the element, it just pulled an inherited element from before. It's a great tool.

In the left hand box you see the code with arrow bullets. You can expand out the code by clicking those to get deeper... if you wanted.

Me to. I've seen this happen a few times when CC makes some adjustments to the forum. :)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I think someone just had too much holiday egg nog. ;)

What probably happened is you had an old stylesheet cached while we deployed some site updates. Normally a hard refresh should clear things up.

Isn't holiday eggnog and a hard re-fresh(ment) the same thing :lol:

I tried clearing caches earlier, will clear and refresh again. Seems Chrome is starting to get as sloggy as Firefox.
