Hi,
I posted this before, but its still not resolved.
I really need to find it out. Thing is I dont know anything about Mac issues. Will try the MM site itself??

The text on the site jumbles when used with
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (2022) for the Macintosh which is running OS Z1-9.2.1.
How is this sorted?

Thanks in advance, Silverswim

Internet Explorer 5 seems to have problems rendering text that has been coded on Windows platforms. Windows renders at 96dpi, whereas Macs expect 72dpi. Most Mac users (certainly computer literate ones) would know that they can fix this themselves by setting their preferences in the View menu. They can specify which font size should be used, or they can use a zoom function.
