dificulties in reading the text
Good day!
I have such difficulties at reading a site www.writingforums.com.
Instead of normal letters at my monitor are some mad signs.
Do you, probably, have some kind of technical difficulties?
Do not prompt, with what it can be connected, and what I have to do to make letters readable instead of be hieroglyphs?
Thank you in advance,
Lora McBride, from http://puteshestviy.net |

Well, you probably won't be able to read this, but... ;p
In Internet Explorer, go to Tools->Options, then click 'Fonts' at the bottom and set it for Times New Roman or Arial or whatever your font-du-jour is. Then: - In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
- On the General tab, click Accessibility.
- Select the Ignore colors specified on webpages, Ignore font styles specified on webpages, and Ignore font sizes specified on webpages check boxes, and then click OK twice.
This will set all websites to appear in the same font, which should allow you to read with impunity. If the resulting text is too large or too small, you can use Ctrl and + or - to adjust the overall font size.

Hmm... You know, I think you might be right. Although not too clever, since it links to a russian site on an English-speaking forum.
I think I'm getting slow at my old age.

'Puteshestviy' means 'voyages' or 'trips.' Just thought I'd mention that. Yep, I do believe that post is just an attempt to promote some random, probably retarded, site.
