It was okay yesterday but now all the fonts are completely screwed up, and I can hardly even read what I am writing here!

Every other board I visit (invluding my own) are perfectly fine.

What have you done?????????????

Which browser are you using?

I'm using Netscape 4.7 and also Konqueror 1.9.8 (Using KDE 2.0.1) both running on Redhat 7.0. As I say, all was well yesterday and I don't have problems with any vbulletin forums except this one.

(I had to type this out in emacs in order to be able to see it!)

Can you have a look at www.vbforums.com and tell me what that looks like. Also, take a look at http://beta.jelsoft.com/

They all look fine for me in NS 4.7 under Windoze

Both of those sites look fine.

The only template that has been changed on this forum compared to the beta site is the footer template, and that is only a very minor change.

I'll keep on looking into it, but I am not sure what the solution is.

Mark,

Could you post some HTML from this board please. Is the HTML screwed up, or is it the rendering of the HTML?

The HTML is fine, its almost certainly a font problem.

I have found the problem - it is a pair of dodgy META tags that one of us added yesterday. I have now removed them, and the beta board is working fine. We just have to wait for John to get back and remove the lines from this board now.
