Has anyone noticed a dramatic change in the shape of Game windows?
Try playing Volcano Run, Ultimate Bullseye, and Meerca Chase II.
They're all squished...

Mine seem no different. Have you checked to see what size is listed in the "Select Size" box? Because there are four choices to choose from--from a tiny screen to full screen.

Did you recently switch to Mozilla Firefox and use tabbed browsing? I had that same problem, but there is a handy extention available that cures it.

It says "Normal", 800x600.

That's what it looks like.
Just....smaller than it usually is. It doesn't look right.

Edit: Yes, I recently switched to Firefox, but I was playing Ultimate Bullseye yesterday and didn't have this problem.

I dunno, the size isn't right in Firefox. And playing in Full Screen doesn't work properly in Firefox, it's just a window as big as your screen. On IE, it's ACTUAL full screen, like PC games you go out and buy.

It only effects some games it seems.

I used to have that problem way back when I used regular Mozilla... I never found a real cure for it... Except that Mozilla no longer works on this computer for some odd reason :roll: (Mozilla != Firefox ;) )

There really needs to be a stickied thread for Firefox help somewhere on PPT since so many have switched to it , and because it requires a bit of customization to get working right with Neopets.

Here's a decent site to get some extentions for FF: http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/

To fix the games-resize problem, try TabBrowser Preferences. It makes the games windows and item inventory windows behave exactly like IE.

Popup Alt Attributes is also a good one - lets you see the ALT tags by mousing-over items like on IE. This doesn't happen on FF by default, because like most mediocre webmasters that build content mainly for IE, they've used the wrong tag to store descriptions.

Hope this helps

Edit: You can try to help people, but sometimes they just don't listen...

It must be your firefox, because here is my "normal size" using IE:

My "normal" takes up 1/2 of the screen.

My game windows have all worked fine until now, and I switched to Firefox before this started happening.
Maybe a delayed reaction?

No, I haven't touched anything like that.

It happens randomly.... I don't know what does it, and clearing cookies doesn't seem to help...
