Interesting. The page in Firefox isn't wide.

I'm posting this from Internet Explorer 7 (prosilver) and the page isn't miles wild. Wow, I'd forgotten how much better the font looks in IE than in Chrome though. Just a thought, do you mean that the page isn't at all miles wide, or do you mean that in prosilver it's possible to ignore that the pa...

Ian Volante

It turns out that the problem wasn't the skin, it's more that the really long string was in a minute font size! Why didn't anyone mention that? The page is still miles wide in prosilver too. I use prosilver (in Google Chrome) and my page isn't miles wide. I use prosilver (in Firefox) and my page is...

A few weeks ago I was offered tickets for that day so it may well be worth phoning and seeing if there are any left.

Are any forumites planning to be there that day? And do we get any special privileges?

I have come in rather late on the subject of repeats of Classic shows and, having read the suggestions from all you experts, did you ever reach any conclusions? I rate Carol`s last show as being one of the most memorable, not only because it was a great final but it was the end of an era. Not at al...

This is a Countdown forum - a telly prog I happen to enjoy. It doesn't make me interested in computers. I happen to own a laptop which I'm able to switch on - that's as far as it goes. I'd have thought the less interested in computers you were, the keener you'd be to make the experience of using on...

On mine, they're not zeds. Just a long line like an underscore. I want to see zeds. Why can I have zeds? :cry: Wah My smilies are all strung out on a long row though.

Also, this thread seems to be about ten pages wide :? Um, looks absolutely fine to me. Yet another reason to stick with the original skin. Really? Does that mean that you can't see the (very) long string of Zs in Gevin's post (which is the reason the topic is so wide)? I can't see them either!

Gino Corr - WANKERS.

Seriously though, I vaguely remember him being pretty good and entertaining, one of his games must be worth looking at.

It will be an FA Cup style random knockout tournament. They definitely do a new draw for each round of the FA Cup.
