Always good to make a goose's day. Probably honked his way home to brag to the significant other.

For anyone who saw my font vent, this is a case in point. On my screen Helen's font is so tiny I can barely read it. I've been catching up on 2 days of posts and this is the first one. I have to think there is some kind of embedded code

I'll see how it goes with them all mixed together. I usually use a mix of colours. If I do get annoyed with having to dig to find the right colour I'll chuck these in a jar and use it as decoration and buy new sequins (luckily they are very cheap).

The font's not changing size on my screen, for that post or any of the others in this thread.

I did not use a special font, just posted in the box? I don't do special fonts but sorry if it looks weird for whatever reason

Yeah, I don't know

I'm not seeing Helen's font any different than anyone else's. What kind of computer and OS are you on?

She has already ascertained that it cannot possibly be her computer in any way shape or form.

Thanks for the misinformation.

Eschwartz you're a bit of a golem. Just don't bother interacting with me from here on out

KK,

What Mr Schwartz has told you is absolutely correct. Helen is not using any form of font modifiers in her posts. If you have a problem, it's local to you. It's certainly nothing to do with Helen's posts. Nobody else seems to be experiencing this issue. Have you tried using a different web browser?

As usual, Big Media never mentioned a word about it...

I just received this e-mail from the US Embassy in Bangkok:

At approximately 8:10 pm on the evening of February 1, 2015, Thai authorities reported that two improvised explosive devices detonated in close proximity to the Siam Paragon Shopping Mall BTS entrance. Security personnel responded immediately to the scene to secure the area and began investigating the incident.

While traveling in Thailand, U.S. citizens are advised to remain vigilant and exercise caution, especially if in the vicinity of any large gatherings. Be alert and aware of your surroundings.

Two small bombs, no-one seriously hurt. I'm surprised I found as much as I did.

Calling me names does not change the reality of the situation. Mobileread.com is not serving any HTML to cause the effect you are seeing. I am happy to listen to any alternative explanation you have, but blaming MR won't help, and nor will calling me names for pointing it out.

How big does a bomb have to be to stop surprising you? Has it occurred to you that the information presented is contradictory? That much of it follows word for word of each organization? That perhaps it's being played by the Thai Information Service for its own purpose?
The US Embassy thought it important enough to send out warnings...

But as usual, you're more interested in proving someone wrong than paying attention to the important part of the post... the fact that there were bombs at all. Rather childish and petty, don't you think?
