Earlier today it was coming up with an error message and said invalid login just to let you guys know. Also I still have some white areas NOT Blueish/green. :-) It's loading faster (normal for my computer anyway) So thanks for fixing that part. :-) I wonder why I have the white areas. :-)

OK. A more comprehensive reset of fonts to the old setup:

Code:
/* font families */
table * {
   font-family:verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif!important;
}

/* small sizes */
.boxcontent,.boxtitle,.cattitle,.code,.content,.ddm1,
.genmed,.mainmenu,.name,.nav,.quote,select,
.storycat,.storytitle,.topictitle,
h1,h2,input,input.button,textarea,th,
A:active,A:hover,A:link,A:visited,
BODY,DIV,FONT,FORM,P,SELECT,TD,TEXTAREA {
   font-size:11px!important;
}

/* post body size */
.postbody {
   font-size:12px!important;
}
Save this as a file, somewhere convenient.

It can be slotted into Internet Explorer by going to: "Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "General -> "Accessibility" (! !!) -> "Format documents using my style sheet" and then browsing for the above file.

It works the same in Konqueror, but with "Settings" -> "Configure Konqueror" -> "Stylesheets" -> "Use user-defined stylesheet" and browse.

Neither IE nor Konqueror seem to be able to handle site-specific style sheets - so you may have to keep adding and removing the setting, or fudge/hide the file by renaming it, if it interferes with the display of other websites.

In Opera, we can do "Tools" -> "Quick preferences..." -> "Edit site preferences..." -> "Display" -> "My style sheet... Choose...", which seems to work OK, although it isn't clear how exactly it matches the site name.

In Mozilla browsers, as before, find your profile, and store the file in the chrome directory, as userContent.css, but wrap it up with
Code:
@-moz-document domain(wrongplanet.net) {
and
Code:
}
to make it site-specific.

NB. In all cases (I think), you need to restart the browser before the style sheet will take effect.

I don't have access to Safari, so I don't know how to do it in there.

=============

Another bit of toying around with stylesheets... and I altered the colour scheme for posts... to something rather gruesome:
Code:
/* was the blueish (approx #BDE) stuff */
body {
   scrollbar-3dlight-color:#EDB!important;
   scrollbar-track-color:#EDB!important;
}
hr,.code,.quote {
   border-color:#EDB!important;
}
td.row1,td.row3,
td.cat,td.catHead,td.catSides,td.catLeft,td.catRight,td.catBottom,
td.row3Right,td.spaceRow,input.button {
   background-color:#EDB!important;
}
th {
   color:#EDB!important;
}

/* was the greenish (approx #BDA) stuff */
body {
   scrollbar-face-color:#BAD!important;
   scrollbar-shadow-color:#BAD!important;
}
td.row2,.helpline {
   background-color:#BAD!important;
}

Dear god, everythings in bold. Did we just get hacked or something?

EDIT: Sorry, it's not bold per se, but it's some fixed-width font where the letters are smooshed together so it appears bold at first glance. My bad.


this is important. please go here: http://www.thismachine.info/ and copy the user agent string and paste it in your reply.


well based on the fact that none of the people complaining have followed my directions or posted any screenshots, I can only assume that there is no problem with the current font.

Sorry, didn't get your reply, was on vacation with no wifi.

String:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)

The font I'm seeing is definitely harder on the eyes.
