I'm only one person.Firefox 3 *should* correct that since it scales text to the rest of the elements instead of independently.  I may be wrong in that or I may need to define my font sizes in picas or points instead of pixels. It is known that the CSS is failing on a not insignificant number of computers.Keep in mind I own exactly 1 computer and only have had the ability to test on one other until I lost my job. Both had resolutions in the 1280 range but I could at least resize the browser and get a feel for what it looks like. I cannot by myself test every possible browser/os/monitor configuration under the sun. I tested as many as I could before going public. I will fix the others as I find time.Several reasons<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">An attempt to maximize the number of articles visible above the "fold" - the fold is a term taken from newspapers and refers to the point on the page that where the user must scroll down to see more - this is the 'first impressions' area of the page and it's critical. The more information here - provided it is organized the better.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">EN World hosts a lot more news than it did even a year ago. Breaking things up into teasers and articles helps people find what they want and ignore the rest. Someone wanting to read the whole bloody thing is the exception - not the rule.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Each click is 2 ads. This is mercenary but true - by dividing content up we serve more ads which pay for the site.</li> </ol>As to the corner store comment - that and the following earns a warning as it is wholly uncalled for.BTW - I am Morris, the person I believe you are addressing is Morrus. I have about 270 lb and 4 inches - and I'm American - he's a Brit.</blockquote>
