Default Issues with certain pages showing incorrectly

Has anyone encountered this issue? This is a screen shot of S2000 Talk, and as you can see the page is displayed very wide and out of proportion. I've come to the conclusion it is due to the "_____________________" in the topic title of the S2000 CR Owner's thread.

This only happens on Firefox on my personal computer. Opens fine in IE, and have never encountered this issue on any of my other computers (mac, office pc's).

I've tried uninstalling/installing firefox, playing around with different options/fonts, and clearing my cookies. Not a huge issue but it's a bit annoying at times.



Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Your browser's registry settings are messed up. It's not the site. Reinstalling FF is not going to fix it. Your old registry settings are not erased by reinstalling. You need to remove FF and all of it's settings and files from your computer and from the registry and then install it again.

Look how wide that page is? Have you scrolled all the way to the right? There are no ____ characters in the title of that thread, they are triangles. Have you looked at you browser's character set encoding settings? I've remove the offending characters from the title so it should not appear that way for you anymore.

Check those character set encoding settings, I think that is where you problem is.

What are the usual default settings? My character set encoding is set to Western ISO-8859-1

I tried playing around with different encodings and that didn't fix it. The default fonts are set for Serif, Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier New
