THS home page messed up

[Crosswords_and_puzzles]

Not sure which Forum category should be tagged for this. @Mark_B

See attached pic. The THS’s Forum home page has been messy as long as I can remember. It is like this in Chrome and Firefox browsers on our PCs.

Same for me. It just went like this a week ago. I use Google Chrome. Looks like it’s going the same way as THS, downhill.

Yep, this is the new, improved look as of last week

Hi @Crosswords_and_puzzles

Thanks for flagging.

We’re aware and looking into the problem on the home screen.

The issue with the text seems to be inconsistent; I see the same issue on multiple browsers on my laptop, but the issue isn’t visible on my mobile or tablet. Others I have spoken to see it on mobile devices, and some not at all.

Thanks for your patience whilst we investigate.

@Mark_B

The issue with the text seems to be inconsistent;

It’s most likely caused by fixed font-size settings (or blocks/tables) instead of recommended relative ones. This usually means one of two things:

Either the page was developed for one specific platform, which is incredibly frustrating, since the Web was created as a platform-independent tool specifically so everyone could access the same information regardless of their device;

Or the user’s browser font settings are clashing with the website’s fixed-font configuration.

Quick Update.

The text on the forum homepage should now be fixed.
Thanks again for your patience.
