I have a silly question.

[Ilsa]

There are some posts that look slightly out of focus on my iPad. In most posts, the text is quite sharp.

Is this true for anyone else? What causes this?

1. It has been happening on my desktop also.

When I've constructed some post, some of the text is almost unreadable. A few seconds later it becomes more legible. I'm not certain whether it's because of the DU server or at the ISP server. I'm on SuddenLink for my ISP--what about you?

2. Is it just when you zoom in, or at the original size too?

I've noticed this on zoomed in text, both here and at other sites. I assume it's browser related.

3. Original size and zoomed in and out.

I'm going to look for a post.

4. On my Galaxy 3, sometimes there's a pause between the rough outline of the text appearing...

...and the finer, finished product.


I'd always assumed it some sort of processing delay.



Or the NSA's secret spy software making some kind of report.

5. I've noticed this too on my laptop and only lately

some posts are blurry but if you wait sometimes they sharpen and sometimes you have to refresh your page

Also youtube videos sometimes just stop... and start at their own whim...

I just figured it was due to high traffic or bandwidth usage or atmospheric conditions or something...?

6. It's weird because every post in a thread

will be sharp and clear except maybe one.

7. put down the wiskey...

8. This happens to my iPad.

It's only when I'm changing sites and it comes into focus quickly. The iPad experience is new to me and every day it seems I have to learn something new.
