I've recently set up a not-for-profit site at GoodBuying.org. Everything looks fine on my computer and on that of everyone else I know, but when my father looks at the 'stores' page on his computer (http://www.goodbuying.org/stores.shtml) he says it looks awful.

Apparently all the store names appear to the left of the page (left of the spiral binding) and the bottom of the post-it notes at the top of the page are really displaced. He's using Firefox, but I am too and I don't have that problem.

Is anyone able to suggest what the problem might be and how I should get round it? I've tried absolutely everything I can think of but I seem to have made the problem worse rather than better.

Hi there.

Just checked in IE7 at 1024 and Firefox at 800 on Win XP and it looks fine.

What version of FF (Firefox) are you using, different versions can look different. Plus what is the dimensions of the screen these things can all affect the way the page looks. Or it could just be something with his computer, but many times when I have had a similar thing happen it was that the person was looking a different version of a browser than I had.

Just checked it in Opera, Safari and IE6 and it seems to be ok in them too.
Is you pops still using Netscape communicator 4.7?

You need to find out exactly which browser your father's using and what screen resolution.

Looks great on my end! I'm using FireFox 2.0.0.10 and your site looks very attractive to the eye.s

Thanks, I'll try and find out (I might have to talk him through how to check over the weekend!). It's definitely Firefox but probably an oldish version, and probably a high screen resolution too as his computer monitor is absolutely huge. :-)

I love the notebook idea. This site is so cute. It is one of those that you want to stay on and look around.

Nice layout. The only thing that I see is that the form field area for subscriptions crosses over the spiral binding graphic (viewing in Netscape 8.1.2 in Firefox mode, does this in all resolutions). But nothing else like you described, even at 1600 by 1200.

looks great om FF 2.0.0.10, IE 7 and NN 9

Ask him to reinstall firefox to see if that makes a difference. It sounds like this may be an issue that you don't need to worry about.
