Incorrect display of "code"-blocks in my favourite forum

Frequently I visit the Parallax-Forum about the propeller chip. In these threats often there are examples in windows called "Code". Text in these code blocks are not readable. In IE all is correct.

Chosen solution

In what way do these code section not display properly?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.


The CCS file specifies this for the font-family:

  • Parallax,Menlo,Consolas,"Andale Mono","Lucida Console","Nimbus Mono L","DejaVu Sans Mono",monospace,"Courier New";

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

This solution did the trick. I will mention it to Parallax.

Thanks !
