my message box looks like this
« on: Tuesday 29 March 16 20:53 BST (UK) »
Since yesterday when I was playing with a new iPad, something changed in my message box and it now looks like the attached image.  I wasn't aware of 'doing' anything to cause it!   ::) ::) ;)

How can I revert to normal please?   

Someone told me the format hasn't been changed so I presume it is only on my computer and iPad.   I am back on the desk top but the layout is the same.

Are you looking at it in portrait mode- mine is like that when I do but if I turn the iPad to landscape all is well.

Beg your pardon, I see you are on your desktop!

Ignore my simple solution.  ;)

Mine does that if I increase the font size. Try ctrl & - and see if that reverts it to normal.

No - that doesn't do anything . . . .   I wonder if I open the iPad again and do something there if it will change - but if that were the case you'd think the desktop would be 'normal'.

Just had a message from a friend to say theirs always looks like this??   ::) :-\

Changing the foont size isn't doing anything either.

Good evening,

Wiggy, go to "HELP" at top of page, then go to "CONTACT SUPPORT" at bottom of that page.

There must be someone there who can help.

I had a look at "LOOK & LAYOUT" on the profile page but nothing on there about your problem.

But it is only on RC and only in Message box - the rest of the computer is fine.

Have to go out now so will come back to the problem later. 

Thanks for advice John, Jan and Heywood . . .  will think about it and do something when I return.

It is showing Basic Page Style but that doesn't fix the problem.    :-\ :)

So I clicked to the alternative . . . but that didn't fix it either!    :-\  It certainly moved it to what is showing in your second post - but that isn't fixing the message box which is the only part of RC which changed.   :-\  :)
