What is going on with the walkthroughs? For example, here's T. Down at the bottom in tiny print are a slew of games that aren't linked. And they include that well known adventure game Tomb Raider. Um...?

Looks okay to me. I random checked till the end of the page and they link except for Graham's closed site.

Can you give me a title that doesn't work.

In T? Nothing after Thorgal's Quest. Looks like 8 point font or smaller from there on.

The fonts are weird, too. For instance, The Silver Lining appears to be in Arial. The game right after it, appears to be in Times New Roman at a smaller size. That happens a lot, variations in size and font.

Please refresh-reload that page or close the browser and open it again.

I see the fonts are uniform and they link.

Also clear temp net files. Keep us posted. Thanks.

Okay, I knew it wasn't the temp files. Closing my browser worked. Now why would all that happen? Different fonts in different sizes? Twilight Zone.

Everything looks perfect in IE9, Firefox and Chrome for me. Gremlins have indeed been busy for you, Gil!

Clearly I have been bad. But I'm always bad. So what happened? Oh...maybe I was good for a change? I'll have to watch that.

It sounds like the page didn't finish loading. Your browser may have had a crash and just needed to be restarted.

Well, I might think so except that Opera always pops up this annoying little window that tells you it has to close if it's going to crash and asks you to tell it what you were doing at the time.

But maybe.

Depending on the nature of the crash, you might not get that window.

I don't think this was Opera's fault. I think the data you received from the Internet (that was supposed to display the webpage) got corrupted on its way to your computer, and the corruption was what made Opera get stuck.

I used to have these kinds of problems a lot when I had dialup at a certain apartment I used to live in that had very dirty phone lines. The page would just stop loading and would look weird. Usually I had to close my web browser and reopen it before it would load the website normally.
