Here's a screenshot, if it displays as I see it.




edited to add: icons at top all sketchy looking, text and images kind of jagged, etc.

3. First of all, you probably need to change the resolution...

And fiddle with some of the Desktop properties.
Secondly, you're using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. That is not good. :evilgrin:

7. IE blows ass, this I know.

I'm no real fan of Firefox either ... I'm a Seamonkey gal myself. Haven't gotten around to installing it yet - after redoing my machine. I work on these bastards all day at work ... when I get home ... not so much.


But yeah, I should have mentioned that the resolution is set, everything's good. Other pages (easynews.com, yahoo.com, photobucket, amazon, etc) look okay - but DU is... wonky.

10. Have you tried in another browser?
It seems like the page just isn't loading properly in your browser, at least in this screenshot.

16. I was going to ask if you went from a "standard" aspect ratio to a widescreen
when you changed out monitors, but if rebooting took care of it, then I guess the question is moot!
