   Hi, nstoll, this is an issue of your system. Try to change the resolution of your monitor, and relaunch your browser.

   From time to time my system does stuff like this too. Usually a simple reload is all that is required to fix the problem. As graylox points out, this is not a GOTD problem.

   Hi,
   I have no idea what you want me to change. My computer is a DumbDell Inspiron B120 and my screen resolution is set for 1024x768 and never changes. No matter how many times I reboot this laptop or reload the browser, it looks like this when I open giveawayoftheday. I try to ignore how annoying it is to look at a web page where the words are all on top of each other, but sometimes it gets the better of me.

   Actually, you need to know that when I load giveawayoftheday.com the web page is perfect. It is after I click on "download" that everything is messed up. That is why I asked for help since it is only after I click on download that the website is messed up as displayed in the above post.

   The resolution is sometimes changed by other programmes, especially games. Normally it should change back when you close the game, if that fails you would have the mess with other sites too.
   Clear the browser cache - at least everything related to GOTD and delete the giveaway cookie.

   I had the same issue when using old versions of Firefox and IE.
   In IE try using its compatibility view option.Clearing cache now and then might help too.

   Ccleaner cleans it all when I reboot my computer. I made sure I had the latest version and let Ccleaner do its thing. I then went into my browsers and manually ascertained that the history, cookies, cache were cleared and also did same for adobe flash player settings.

   I never use IE for anything except Windows Update - the latest for XP is IE8.
   I use Firefox 18 (Beta) and Google Chrome.

   I will check out my FF extensions to see if one of them is the problem.

    Firefox 18 (Beta) ? may be ok but it's only for testing as for ad-nos the ones to check are RequestPolicy, NoScript, Adblock try fist

    The problem is your screen resolution combined with your default text size. Install NoSquint and find a text size smaller than 100% that will work for GOTD.

    NoSquint allows you to set properties for each site so your other browsing won't be impacted.
