Profile, PM's and font size jumping

Postby Louise Pembroke » Sat 29 Sep 2007 10:31 am

Hi John, I can't see how to change my profile so I can add grafts/RGP's.
I also can't see how to send/receive PM's.
Why does the font size 'jump' from smaller to larger?

Lou, to get to the profile information - under the red title box at the top of the forum is a blue box with 2 lines of text in. The bottom lines says 'user control panel' - click here. The words 'user control panel' then appear in large grey letters, and underneath there are a series of tabs. The second one says profile, click on that and the profile options will appear, including adding information about grafts etc.

To get to PMs - again in the blue box underneath the red title one, there should be something that says '0 new messages' or something similar. Click on that and it will take you into the PM function.

Not sure on the jumping font size though, it does that to me too and I do find that a bit difficult.

To be honest, I'm not sure about the "jumping font size" thing either - except that it happens to me at work running IE6, but not at home running Firefox.

I'm sure I could do something about it given enough time... :roll: (and probably will, one day!)

Ah, that makes sense, I usually run on IE7 because it's what I'm used to, but I've just tried using the forum on Firefox because I have that installed too - and it doesn't jump then. Although interestingly, even though the font size seems to be roughly the same in both IE and Firefox, in IE it seems a lot 'bolder' than in Firefox.

I can't find the cake button that Louise mentioned. Is this beccause I am using safari, and if so, where can I get Firefox?

By the way the fonts in Safari are stable.
