All of a sudden - don't know why. The text looks all chunky and unformatted but goes back to normal when I click on Forum.

Can I ask what the difference is?
The difference is CTRL + F5 is a forced refresh
This deletes the cache and tempory internet file of the page and reloads ot from scratch.
So , when you first went on the page , if it did not download properly you do the forced refresh and that should make it better by deleting the old image of the page and replacing it with the new one which SHOULD have downloaded properly
Hope this helps :beer::dance: I am great , yes I am :dance:

If you think I was useful , Thank you, for thanking me

^in which case: ignore my above post - yep, you and Lok are indeed correct. Just tested it: ctrl f5 forces the images at top of this page to reload also (not so with f5):)BLOODBATH IN THE EVENING THEN? :shocked: OR PERHAPS THE AFTERNOON? OR THE MORNING? OH, FORGET THIS MALARKEY!
