Um... why is nearly every word in bold now? Joey.eyeball (talk) 00:18, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Everything appears as normal for me? Could you provide an example?

Just for clarification, any text wrapped in ''' will come out bolded. For example: '''TEXT HERE''' would show as TEXT HERE. Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 00:24, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Its just that when I logged in today, everything was in bold except for words that are in linking like this: Hello, my name is Joseph. That looks normal for me, yet everything else that isn't linked is in bold. Its also on other wikis as well. Joey.eyeball (talk) 00:30, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

That's weird. I'd say check your preferences, only I can't see anything that would even relate. What browser are you using? I just checked in Chrome and Internet Explorer and I can't see any excessive boldness. Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 00:37, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Nothings wrong with my preferences. My browser is Mozilla Firefox. This has never happened to me before. Joey.eyeball (talk) 00:42, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Checked Chrome, no excessive boldness. Joey.eyeball (talk) 00:56, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Ok so it sounds like a Firefox-specific issue. If it's happening cross-wiki I'd suggest sending in a bug report. I suspect either Mozilla or Wikia have updated something that borks CSS. I'll leave this thread open for a bit in case anybody else has any similar issues. Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 01:02, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

It looks like this was an isolated incident. If it happens again, start up a new thread or contact Wikia. Archiving. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 01:09, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
