However, this only happens in Internet Explorer, so it is possible that the problem is with my computer and not the forum. There is something strange going on in the forums - your explanation might explain why I am having problems. You are right, I was trying to post a screenshot of the same thing that you posted a picture of.

I'd say ClearType does aīetter, cleaner job. That's apparently what they have deemed 'modern'.įor what it's worth, the Safari ' Strong' font rendering setting looks dark and fuzzy to me by comparison to ClearType, which looks thinner and sharper. Keep in mind that all Microsoft's style choices appear to be influenced by a suggestion or mandate from within to move to thin, light text. Then clicking on the Mac Font Smoothing on Windows PLEASE!!! Just for reference, this is a screen grab of what I see coming in through this link:

I've seen times when fonts look larger or smaller in the very same thread, depending on where I just was. I'm not sure how Microsoft managed that, but what it means is that depending on how you get to a particular thread it can actually look different! Unfortunately some of the styles the forum sets up even sometimes seem to persist after navigation. I think there ws a forum update today, as they were down for a while, though I don't see much difference in terms of CSS. And always bear in mind that if you have tuned your ClearType smoothing for your particular system/monitor, a screen grab won't look the same on someone else's Not sure if you were trying to put up screen grabs, WindowsVista567, but they're not showing.
