Viewing profile problem (text size)

[mattmns]

When I view a user's profile I seem to have the text shifted to the right and smaller size than normal under the "Biography," "Location," and a few others. For example, the following screen shot:

I am using Firefox (whatever the latest version is, 2. something), and Windows XP.

Doesn't show up like that with Safari or Firefox on a Mac. I can't help with determining if it's a problem with the Windows version of Firefox, Windows in general, or just you.

By the way, what's Golden Age Hip Hop? (Saw that in your profile while checking this.)

Nope, it does not show like that for me. I'm on XP, and using Firefox Version 2.0.0.4

ASAIK, Firefox does work differently on different computers, don't really know why. But some add-ons work nicely on my cousins' computer (also in XP SP2), but somehow, does not work quite well for me.

Basically, hip-hop from 1987 to 1993.

Hip-hop's golden age is bookended by the commercial breakthrough of Run-D.M.C. in 1986 and the explosion of gangsta rap with 1993's The Chronic by Dr. Dre. Those six years witnessed the best recordings from some of the biggest rappers -- LL Cool J, Public Enemy, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B. & Rakim, N.W.A, Boogie Down Productions, Biz Markie -- in the genre's history. Overwhelmingly based in New York City, golden age rap is characterized by skeletal beats, samples cribbed from hard rock or soul tracks, and tough dis raps. Rhymers like PE's Chuck D., Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, and Rakim basically invented the complex wordplay and lyrical kung-fu of later hip-hop. The Def Jam label became the first big independent in hip-hop, while Cold Chillin', Jive, and Tommy Boy also made strides.

edit...

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4 (just got an automatic update). Add-ons: Adblock plus, All in One Gestures, Forecastfox, Foxy Tunes. There are also other tweaks I have done, but those should not have any effect on it.

I get those little profile fonts too. I noticed them after Greg did that minor forum upgrade about a week ago.

I think it's a stylesheet issue.
The source of the profile page has

<dt class="smallfont"><strong>Age</strong>:</dt> <dd class="smallfont">21</dd>

and the stylesheet https://www.physicsforums.com/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style-51c57b11-00005.css
has

.smallfont
{
	color: #26353F;
	font: 10px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

After the upgrade there are some minor edits I need to do in the profile. I'll look into it.
