If you tell people how it was resolved, then someone who experiences the same problems (if there is anyone else) will be able to learn from it. That is, if you would like to help anyone else that might experience the problem. Just…

Wiser words and suggestions never spoken, especially the opening statements (first two sentences). To heed them would be wise, me thinks.

update: theoretically fixed. I hoping the cure does not break other things in WordPress.
thx for the heads up. @catch22 and @Anna
Although I won't know if it is fixed for you until I get feedback!

When did you first notice this problem occurring? Or perhaps when did it last work as expected? I suspect it will happen for all browsers. So, the info most needed is when did the problem start?

Also I could look into changing the font size specifical…

I'm talking more about behind the scenes updates to the OS e.g. windows 7 updates updates the OS automatically depending on the settings and this can be an enormous amount of data straming through which will slow down performance. Other OS's can do…
Aside from outage issues, I wonder if people who have slow response times occasionally, have auto-updating of windows and other programs going on at the same time in the background.
