    I guess this happens only in IE. Didnt see it in FF. Will get it checked.

    Considering the percentage of people still using IE (especially at work), that is quite a big 'only'.
    Good luck.

    Vai, tell your coder it's an easy fix, it's simply an open <SPAN> tag or ill formed <SPAN> tag that doesn't like IE, it could simply be a misplaced ; .etc

    Bold-Not Bold - Who's Online

    I don't know if this is actually an issue or not but when I look to see who's online there are many names that are bold and many that are not bold. See Picture. It's not a big deal but I was a little confused by it when I first saw it today.

    Re: Bold-Not Bold - Who's Online

    Strange, I don't see that at all. Both IE9 and FF10 look correct. I notice in your image that the bold names don't start until after the first moderator, whose name is in bold green. Maybe the bold tag isn't turned off at that point or it is in such away as to affect your browser version..??

    Mordred, this is an issue with IE9. The tech team is working to get it sorted out. All names after the moderator / admin appear bold.

    Re: Bold-Not Bold - Who's Online

    This has nothing to do with IE9, but with ineptitude of the untechnical team: i.e bad coding in HTML

    The code should be:
    HTML Code: 
    Instead of
    <li><a href="http://www.excelforum.com/members/arlu1201.html"><strong><span style="color: green"</span>arlu1201<span style="font: 11px verdana; color: blue; font-weight: bold;"</span></strong></a> ,</li

    Re: Bold-Not Bold - Who's Online

    as snb says it's nothing to do with IE9 Arlette so the "tech team" are way off base and don't know their stuff, i've reported this to Vai and in many threads here with pictures, and informed them that it's poor html coding, many many times!

    It's a simple fix, reported first about 3 months ago!

    @snb, actually STRONG is the wrong way to go, it can be all done in the STYLE all it's missing or has misplaced is ;

    I've been trying to tell them for ages!

    @Arlette, i see this thread is marked solved? is it?

    This is still an issue with IE8 Arlette, I don't know about IE9 as you suggest.
