Hi everyone,

I'm on a pretty new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium. In Firefox, Chrome, and IE 64-bit, when I go to this page:

http://appcubby.com/...ch-center/apps/

it looks like this: http://twitpic.com/ace46o/full. This particular screenshot was taken in Firefox but it looks very much the same in Chrome and IE. The font is set at the default size and the issue persists if I increase or decrease it, and Adblock Plus is off. (And I haven't installed any add-ons in Chrome or IE.) My OS font is set at the larger than normal size - 125% - could that have anything to do with it? What problem am I having?

looks fine in Chrome and Opera.

I see it's an iOS app. the developer probably made the site in webkit and neglected to test it in anything else.

occurring in IE10 too, really weird O.O
but I wouldn't doubt what primexx said about WebKit; that's probably what's happened

Thanks all. The webmaster finally got back to me and said he knew he "needed to work on it."

Looks OK on Chrome, once it has finished loading, but resembles your screenshot up until then.
