Forgive me if I didn't get your question but are you referring to the CSS tag Bold Bolder or are you saying the forum's bold seems bolder than before?

You *do* realize that you can't smoke just *anything* that grows by the side of the road, right? ;)

@GµårÐïåñ, the latter. It may have just been because I was on a different monitor at the time.

Well whatever you are smoking I want some but glad you figured it out. Different monitors using different color schemes, calibrations and also if you have ClearType enabled or not and in the later OS like Vista and 7 you can actually go through a text calibration to make it look the way YOU like it and eyes can read best, so its very possible for things to look different, no biggie.

@therube, funny pic! ... but i really thought that someone with therube's smarts would have realized that different machines render things slightly differently. I have two machines, same OEM, same XP SP2, but the display on the newer one is brighter, as I've been told that LCD pixels lose their luster with time (don't we all?) Of course, can fiddle with Display Properties, etc. ...

Smarts, who said?
It was nothing more then loading a page & saying to myself, self, bold is bolder, or is it my imagination?

Didn't correlate it to monitor differences at the time.
