I was at a friends place today & put F1 on her ME computer. It looks different, why?. Is it because I am, perhaps . on the "Old" IDG site, & she is on the newer Candy site?? Poppa John :|

81945 2002-09-22 03:54:00 No, the site is the site and its only at one location.

You can select such things as "thread map on" or "thread map off" which will give slightly different looks.

Or perhaps too much sherry could cause the illusion?

81946 2002-09-22 03:55:00 more likly it due to her browser settings. check what encoding and text size its set on. also screen size makes a difference to page layout.

otherwise please tell us what looks different about it.

81947 2002-09-22 04:00:00 A bit hard to put a picture into Words. My one is typed words & paras down the page. Hers looks more like a spreadsheet, everything is in boxes, sort of. Does that help? Poppa John Poppa John (284)
81948 2002-09-22 04:02:00 candy.idg.co.nz and pressf1.co.nz are the same, they get spat out from the same server that took over when candy was adequatly tested, and the old server threw an unexpected hissy fit

i suspect theat formatting differances might be because of different screen resolutions, and stuff like that.

81949 2002-09-22 04:24:00 Poppa - While reading this, press the print screen button on your keyboard.

Now, open your graphics editor and create a new picture - then click edit -> paste to paste your screen shot into the new picture. Save the picture as a jpeg or gif to make it smaller and send it by email to gwpetrie@varsity.co.nz

Then post here to let me know you have done it. i will look at what you are seeing and see if I can help.

81952 2002-09-22 04:35:00 I see PressF1 with everything in boxes ... and it was like that in the "old" system. I think it's Poppa's browser that is different. Or Poppa's eyes. ;-) Graham L (2)
