Weird: Just logged onto my site and the font and font sizes changed/shrunk - and probably a side effect of that, one of my icons - fixed center - now covers some of the text.  But I didn't make these changes! And the site looks plenty worse for it.
Is this the thing where extensions are corrupt or some such? Is it ever a risk to reinstall extensions? That is, might I lose information/have to redo anything?

In Frontpage, everything appears normal, including in Preview mode.

My video settings are unchanged, 800x600 True Color.

I got advice re the icons appearing in diff't spots, format changing with diff't monitors used - that is, to insert everything in a table that is set for, say, 100% of the page.  Haven't had the guts to do it yet - Not sure how to do it - zero table experience.  Even if that's not the fix for the Weird Problem, can someone walk me through that, no extra charge?

Thanks...

Have you ever used tables in word? If so its the exact same, but you just make the table invisible. Smile

In Internet browsers, the font display sizes are relative unless specified in a style. That is, font specified as "size 3" can change size depending on the browser setting. Check this in Internet Explorer by selecting the View menu and choosing Text Size. Reset the size to Medium if necessary.

This sometimes gets accidentally changed by holding down the Ctrl key while twirling the mouse wheel.

Also, sometimes websites look totally different with browsers and OSes. Also remeber you are useing frontpage which often does not have good inter-browser coding.

Sorry it took so long to say THANKS! the control mouse wheel was in fact the culprit.
