Guys,

Fresh install of XP Pro, running IE8. Have turned off the always use clear type option, but still some sites don't look great.

Now I don't know if it's something I haven't done, or are some sites crap, or maybe it's just the way IE8 shows them?

Example... http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-support/5249-ie8-crashes-exit.html

The text on this just is not crisp at all. It looks almost as if it has a very slight drop shadow. :confused:

Any ideas or is it just the way that site is coded?
 
looks the same as mine, cant see a drop shadow. Sure its not your monitor?

No, I was just saying it was a little bit like a drop shadow. I guess I am crap at describing it :D

Funny thing is, turn ON clear type and myseriously that site looks much better :rolleyes: :confused:

Makes other sites look horrible though, especially the bolder text on here.
