I got this message in a long dark-red ribbon/banner at the top of the page when I came on WP just now!

What does it mean?

I am actually using Firefox Mozilla, with Adblock-Plus, and now that the font is bigger again am gradually, if reluctantly, ( because I really liked the old "verdant" ), getting used to the new font. But this message is total gobbledegook to me.

Any explanations? Thank you very much! :)

Or that your thread title, "I am?", meant nothing to me? ;)

But talking about "slowness" some of the pages are taking forever to load again!

Slow... not half. Pages are taking up to a minute to load.

Don't know why you got the ie6 message but Alex has been playing around with the site, so maybe related.

If you want the fonts back to how they were Matt gives details of a file you can save in your profiles that does that in the thread started by Richie on this forum about browser problems.
