New site design looks great Troy. Now you just need to get a better logo.

Yeah it's just too bad that logo is already taken. :crazy:
 
It could be the resolution on your screen. If it was designed on a large widescreen monitor and you are viewing it on a smaller screen, then it is possible that it was designed too wide and now assets are being scrunched up on top of each other. I don't know why it would work on some browsers and not others, but resolution is the only thing that I can think of that may be a cause.
 
By the way Troy, I really like how you have laid out the photo page on your site. I think I'll do mine the same way. I wonder if Lightroom has a template like that already built...

It's not an elastic website like the forum is. It stays at 1000 pixels wide so resolution should make no difference. I am going back through and cleaning up the code some more.

I'm learning that designing a custom site with wysiwyg (drag and drop, what you see is what you get) design software is a bad idea unless you know how to go through and clean-up the code easily which I don't. I'm still trying to learn DreamWeaver well enough to design with it. I use it to validate code and clean it up after the design.
 
It seems to be working for most browsers for most people, so unless you get reports that it isn't working a lot, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. In my experience it is usually a user issue when it displays wrong on one machine but correctly on everybody elses. I don't know what setting would be off to cause that, but that is just what I've found.

I have to fix it. That kind of stuff bugs me too much. The biggest issue is font attributes. The code is giving it one attribute in the tag and then assigning another as in line css. I can see how different browsers could get confused but not the exact same one.:hmmm:

Oh well I am fixing it anyhow. ;)
 
Troy, I know you don't need to hear this but my son's and my wife's laptops both see the same thing mine does. Theirs are 17 inch screens where mine is only a 15. They both run FireFox. All three of these machines were upgraded to the current version of FireFox within the past 10 days.

My experience has been quite the opposite. Though the problem may show up randomly dependent on an individuals settings or choice of applications, the problem usually resides in the coding.

Done.

I think I see what it might be.

It looks like a line spacing issue. I didn't set any line spacing for my text. I bet your defaults are different than most.

Let me see if I can fix it. Thanks GH.
 
Actually I think I know what it is. Each text block has two sets of tags. For some reason your browsers are disregarding the second set. I can combine them and that should fix the problem.
