Odd, I'm unable to reproduce the error currently. But I know something about the header ad is causing it, so I've removed that until I have time to fix this.

Thanks so much! The header ad is the most annoying thing ever. It makes the page run all slow because it takes forever to load the ad. Why do we even have a header ad if it causes problems, anyway?

This. Also, the advertisers send me a warm box of cookies in the mail every third week.

Re: HUGE Text!?

If anyone is still experiencing this issue and would be able to post the HTML source code of the error occurring this would be a great help to solving the problem since the issue is intermittent and hard to duplicate.

To get the source code in most browsers if you are unaware, you right click on the page and there should be a selection delineating something along the lines of "view source code."

Re: HUGE Text!?

So, what source code should I be looking for?
As posting the entire code from the page probably wouldn't be that helpful. mini/wink
Are there some key words/phrases that I should be looking for that indicate which line of code is causing the error?
Or should I just copy it all into a Google Doc (For example) and let you sift through everything?

All of it is ideal despite the bulk of it.

Re: HUGE Text!?

I just noticed the enlarged text. I went to this thread and it was larger than usual.

I think what would help would be to press Ctrl and then scroll down, using the mouse (if you are using one). That is the only thing that comes to mind that would help the situation.

And, off-topic but necessary, let's congratulate the authorities over in Boston for bringing the suspect to justice.

Ah yes, but I need allllllll, the code, even the code past the </head> tag because that is where the actual formatting issue will be shown to me.

Re: HUGE Text!?

Here are the full copy/pasted codes for the problem. (Well, I started at the bottom and highlighted everything up to the top, so it should be everything.) The file has source codes form two different occasions that occurred within minutes.

Re: HUGE Text!?

We have conferred and determined that certain Google ads are producing the problem, making it sort of hard to fix. If you get this problem consistently with a given ad, maybe right click on the ad and get me the advertiser URL, then I can remove that ad from circulation.
