I'm trying to show a friend the stuff that's on this newsgroup, but on deja it doesn't seem to work properly (probably due to multiple spaces being compacted) - is there a web based usenet viewer that's designed to keep all this correctly aligned, and uses fixed width fonts? Many Thanks Stuart

You could either configure your browser to show all content in fixed fonts like Courier, Fixedsys etc. or just copy the part you want to see and then paste it to notepad. If you're using windows 98 or higher, be sure that you've set your notepad to use fixed font. Regards, ad.

Also I __think__ that If you use the "Deja Classic" option under "Results Type" it will be displayed correctly... -- |"""""<`.THE PRINCE ,'>"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""| | `.`/""""""\,',' my sig is too big, | |SEE HIS ( / \ \' SEE HIS but its really cool. | | FACE \/<> <>\/ SMILE | | / W \ Visit my ascii art site: | | ,'\_|||||_/`. http://www.gtcom.net/~krogg/ascii/ | | ,',' ||| `.`. kro...@gtcom.net | |____<,' TIME TO DIE `.>____Remove no.to.spam to reply____|

And if you accidentally find yourself on a Deja page with badly-displayed ASCII art, just add "=dnc/" (without quotes) immediately after the "deja.com/" in the address, and the problem should be fixed. -- Matthew `mpt' Thomas, Mozilla user interface QA <http://critique.net.nz/project/mozilla/>
