    Version 1.0.6 here. I've just tried it in IE and Opera. IE looked the same as Firefox. Opera was fine.

    I think it is something to do with the screen resolution. Mine is set to 1024X768. IE and Firefox show the page with a big gap on the right. Opera adjusts itself so it fills the screen.

    I've tried all sorts to adjust the text size. It makes no difference. I can't get the text to sit right.

    Just had a look you have to decrease the text size in your browser
    as the code isnt fixed within a Table, its placed on top of
    the graphic only.

    My instant associations for "designer":
    • thinks & behaves "outside the box" - often totally innovative and setting a trend
    • initially [and may be ultimately] appealing to people with more money than sense
    • produces things that are outside my financial reach (I have no debts and feel comfortably well off, but 'designers' are out of my -desired - reach)
    • goes to any party to promote themselves ....ooops, sorry, of course not themselves, they promote that I want to change my lifestyle even though I know I don't (not with the help of a designer, anyway)
    • doesn't ever intentionally produce anything for the masses, instead aims at those with more money than sense [apols if I am repeating myself]
    • starts in poverty, makes st****nking amount of money within 12 months or tries something else

    But I am sure an MSE designer is going to be a different animal (no insults intended!), and moneysavingexpert.com will become even better than it is already, with the help of a new kind of designer :cool:

    I've already tried that. I adjusted the general text for the computer settings, and when that didn't work. I tried every size of text in Firefox. I still couldn't get the text to fit. I went through every setting in Firefox I thought would make a difference (in view and tools). Nothing worked. The page looks lovely in Opera though.

    This has got me confused!!!!

    Have you got the latest Fire Fox as I expect its how the Browser
    reacts to Tables and Frames within the Browser itself.
