Well I use mozilla mainly but I find that the code snippets are un readable! What option do I have to adjust in order to see these in the web page. Right now they are un readable.

Thanks torq

I think they're easy to read, and I also use mozilla firefox. I got my screen resolution at 1280,1024, I don't really know if the resolution helps to make it easier to read.

Well font size made no change on what the snippet box looks like. Here is a pic. This is quite annoying and I cant figure it out.

hold your control key and scroll down using your mouse wheel - it looks like that because your font size is set too low

or you can go view>text size or even control and the + key

<swaps to firefox 1.5>

works fine here, everything looks perfectly legible, maybe you have a missing system font so its using the nearest it can find, do a websearch for windows default fonts and compare that with what you have on your system.

Thanks IanG that worked. For sum reason when I adjust the font sizes under options It would enlarge everything but the snippet box. When I used the control key and the mouse wheel that worked great.
