Does anyone else get this:

[Sapphire Blue]

When they click on this DU Journal: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/no%20name%20no%20slogan/9 ?

[babylonsister]

1. I got the same thing.

:hi:

Perhaps the DUer designed it that way?

[Sapphire Blue]

4. Thanks!

:hi: At least now I know it's not just some weird thing happening to me!

[Sapphire Blue]

7. Others can read it, though... not seeing the same thing that we are.

[Mabus]

2. I get the same colors but the text is readable

but I get the banner:

THIS IS HUGH!!!11
I AM SERIES!!!11

fwiw, the font looks like wingding

[Sapphire Blue]

6. I thought it looked like wingding. Weird that you get a different font.

[Mabus]

8. I meant the journal's font looks like wingding

What shows up on my screen are normal alphanumeric characters.

edited subject.

[Sapphire Blue]

10. I understood that you meant what I'm seeing looks like wingding.

:hi:

Odd that we're seeing something different... or at least odd that I'm seeing what I'm seeing.

[Mabus]

11. I'm supposed to be with other DU'ers right now

but I'm still getting over a cold. If they want proof of how dingy I am - and why I didn't feel it was safe for me to drive - I'll point them to this exchange. What you said was perfectly clear, my head's not. :blush:

on edit: what browser are you using? I wonder if that's a factor. :shrug:

3. I get the brightness, but the words are regular alphabet&words&this

[BrklynLiberal]

5. Nope. I got legible print, but bright colors..

THIS IS HUGH!!!11
I AM SERIES!!!11

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. The font is readable for me

Other than that the format is the same.

12. Here is part of the page source. Is a dingbat like a moonbat?

background-color: #FF0;
color: #0F0;
font-family: WingDings, dingbats;

[Control-Z]

13. With that code

you will see wingdings or dingbats or the next closest font to it depending on what your system has on it, in that order. Moonbats? That all depends on what you believe.:evilgrin:

[Sapphire Blue]

14. I never even heard of a dingbat font! Don't start confusing me here : )

Why can others read the text, but babylonsister & I see wingdings & dingbats? And how can others read it if it's wingdings & dingbats?

I'm starting to feel like a dingbat

(Please, no one need agree w/that last statement.)

[Control-Z]

17. You are probably using IE

and have either wingdings or dingbats fonts. IE picks up on the first one it recognizes on your system. The others are either using Firefox or another browser that doesn't pick up the those particular fonts (although I'm not sure whether it's a code issue or a built in safeguard since I don't use the fonts myself) or they don't have those dingy fonts on their systems to begin with.

15. I get regular text, posted by "no name no slogan" but the colors

are pretty hideous (same green on yellow)...
must be some kind of font problem with your browser...?

16. I got the wingding fonts also
