Can you also give a little information about the other computer? Is it a different operating system or are there add ons installed that are not installed on the computer you are posting this question from?

Hi c13563 , If you are ok with sharing the url it might be easier.

Second, are there any addons or theme/accessibility features that are turned on for one computer and not the other. Sometimes operating system themes can make a contrast color different.

This is the URL that is loading differently. The issue has nothing to do with color. It is all about the page layout being completely different.

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • make sure you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

I solved the issue. For some reason, it was the screen resolution. I do not like the solution and if anyone has a better remedy, I would certainly entertain it. Thanks to those who helped. They put me on the right track.

That might help us come up with a "remedy".
