I'm not sure if it's something I did to my computer, but the display on WP seems to be a bit messed up the past couple days- the smilies are fuzzy and distorted, as is the WrongPlant.net banner above (with the alien and birthday cake) and the fonts are uglier than before. This isn't happening on any other website. Is this one of the latest hiccups from an overloaded server?

Seems normal to me on Firefox. No changes. Must be your browser?

The site also looks ok to me. The fuzziness and such sounds like a problem I had with firefox zooming fonts and images (and doing a weird, crappy job of it); the "default full zoom level" plug-in fixed it, FWIW.

That seems to have been it. FF somehow persistently stored a bizarre zoom for WP only.

Might have been that video about the lesbian firefighters joining PETA.

It's understandable why a browser might want to zoom in on that.

maybe you are looking too hard at the page and it has worn thin?

Control and scrolling up or down also works, at least on my machine.
