Just to complicate matters -- until today I didn't get the slide bar on the bottom (i.e., the page was sized correctly in the window, no matter the size of the window). Now I do.
And for some reason the clickable text on the home page of the forum is LARGE and has turned sort of yellow-gold. I'm using Windows XP Professional and IE 6.0.2900.2180.
Will check from home when I get there in about an hour to see if this is happening there as well.

Hmm. Large gold text has returned to normal color and size. Slide bar is still at the bottom, though.
