For no reason I can fathom this site now looks odd on Internet Explorer. Please let me know in the comments whether it looks okay to you!

Hi,
I don’t normally use IE, but I logged on with it to check. Your site does seem to have changed, but it is much better than before in my view - instead of having over-large type it now has much smaller, but still perfectly legible, script. The improvement is particularly noticeable when looking at comments. The right-hand column seems to be in the right place, too, which it hasn’t always been before when I’ve looked. I’d suggest you try and look at your own site on another PC than the one you normally use to see if it’s not local to that computer - I was once affected by some kind of glitch (I suspect a virus) that made all the typeface on my monitor almost illegibly small and I had to re-load an earlier version of my cache before my machine was infected to resolve the problem - at least I learned some new facet of just how flexible Windows XP is because I had to delve into parts of the help routines I had never used before. Good luck.

Looks fine to me Gav. I’m using IE7. Try clearing your temporary internet files.

I’ve checked it on IE7 on two PCs and it looks odd on both on the front page. Unfortunately I only use IE7 and Mozilla on my PCs.I’ll take a look from work on IE 6 tomorrow

Looks the same as before on IE6 to me, fine, good.

I’m having the large font problem in Opera 9, and IE6, but not in Firefox, however it is only on the front page — Each page underneath seems fine.
It’s also not a problem of cache since it’s emptied each time I close one of the browsers.
Gavin, what exactly were you doing prior to the font problem?

Thanks all…
All I did was add the ‘Shop’ link to the bar in the header.php document…

Check for open tags.

Have done and, interestingly, the icon is not appearing…

Well, it seems you have fixed the problem Gavin — I’m no longer experiencing the weird font problem that I was before. An idea on what it was?

I was literally just going to add a comment here saying that I’ve been through the CSS and hard-coded the font-sizes I want by hand…!
