Link to problem:  http://www.slashedtodeth.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=1
Problem:  Everything is bolded on the series summary page.  Even the footer
Username:  test
Password:  test
Skin:  jelly
Site:  http://slashedtodeth.com
eFiction version:  3.4.2
Mods:  No
Bridged:  No

I'm not sure what could be causing this if even the footer is also coming out in bold.

Looks fine to me in Firefox. You probably forgot to close a tag. Running your page through the HTML validator indicates an unclosed span tag which probably is bolded in the CSS.

Thanks for responding, Carissa.  I'm beginning to think it's an IE 7 issue since I did check Kali's site and her "jelly" skin is doing the exact same thing.  A girl who helped me with an issue at Live Journal said IE 7 doesn't recognise some .css (not sure what that means since I'm slowly teaching myself).  But I'll keep going through the files to see if there is an unclosed span tag, because the e-zfiction and nirvana skins I uploaded are checking out just fine.  :mrgreen:

Um...that's not really true. The CSS that IE7 does not recognize would not make your layout do this. If it didn't recognize it, it would ignore styles, not add them. If it were IE6, then yeah, good luck, but IE7, while not perfect, does not have as many problems.

I'd be willing to bet $10 that it's the unclosed span tag, probably for one of the classifications.

Posting to back-up Carissa.  πŸ˜›

I took a brief look at the source and saw this:

<span class="label">Series Type:</span> Closed<br />
<span class="label"><br />
</div>

I bolded what I think is probably causing it.

... not sure why Firefox is missing it though. o_O
