Odd Hapennings ......

Strange things seem to be happening.

This question really doesn't fit anywhere so I thought I'd ask it here

When I view one of the threads I replied it my name is in Black and Bold. When I go to school and view that exact same thread another day, it become Blue and Bold. I am curious as to what is happening. Nothing is really affecting me apart from curiosity.

Anyone know why is it doing that ?

in internet explorer, your name is blue.

in firefox, it's black.

at home you are using firefox and the school uses ie?

**Grove** · 10-26-2005, 03:10 AM

Yes that is correct. Is it not possible to show the Blue on a Firefox browser or is this on behalf of the deprived feature Firefox has ?

Firefox is more than likely suffering from some kind of css glitch or something.

Wherever the color is defined, its either using some kind of IE only code, or there's a glitch somewhere in FF.

It can also depend of the fonts that are installed if the system does not support a perticular font the it will show up in the system default font. For example my wifes website's title page has old english on it. When I view the page at work it's in (time new roman)the system doen't have old english installed.

You're not alone. It's different on Firefox vs IE for me too. But I figure BFD, I still lurve my FF!
