Did anything happen recently to the board code that would change the font on my screen?
For me, the board usually appears as Verdana (I think) but now it is showing up as a small Times Roman and the logo is not there, etc. It seems that Explorer is automatically switching the encoding from "Western European (Windows)" to "Western European (ISO)" but only with this site. Even if I manually switch it back (and doing this does make the font revert back to what I'm used to), with the next page, it happens again. This is true regardless of whether "auto-select" is checked.
Any suggestions to correct this?
There's been nary a change in months (sorry, folks).
Huh. My browser shows the encoding is "Western European (ISO)", but everything looks fine. Switching to (Windows) doesn't affect the display at all.
Can locality settings override a style sheet? I'm not familiar enough to say.
Okay, I've now tested this phenomenon on a number of sites and I definitely get different results switching between the two encoding settings, sometimes it's just the font, sometimes it's the graphics (on the upside, ISO eliminates banner ads). TWOP also switches itself back to the same encoding automatically with each page, Western European (Windows). Most other pages seem to default to that one as well (in my browser, at least).
I don't have any stylesheets attached via "Internet Options" and if I switch the font there from Times New Roman to Verdana (for example), then everything on The Phoenix becomes that font but one size (e.g. taglines aren't smaller and bolded) as they were before.
Besides being harder to read, I just find this bizarre as I've never changed any of these settings (besides long ago changing the text-size to smaller).

I was unable to, try as I might.

What version of IE are you using Megan?
I've noticed that I lose the style sheet and images when I'm using BitTorrent at high transfer rates, which must be some sort of resourse issue with that program. The page loads, but none of the additional files are received.
I'm using IE 6, which, after some fiddling, uninstalling, then reinstalling, seems to now be working as before. I think the problem may have stemmed from the fact that initially I did the minimal installation but have now installed all possible additional components. Or, maybe my switching ISPs recently triggered something and I just had to reinstall.
No harm, no foul... just half the day wasted as per usual.
I think it would be safe to turn the random quote generator back on again.
Tend to agree with Rob -- maybe a quote-of-the-day, Stompie time and priorities permitting?
QotD is a hassle. Reinstating the random generator is much less so.
Ah, didn't know that. Ignore the QotD part of my comment.
Ooh, they're so fun!
Were we going to see if we could downgrade our service at all? Otherwise, I need to start fundraising again pretty soon. Eh, I'll post about it anyway.
