Today i went on my website on another computer in my house that i never visited my site on and the font was different? The sidebox heading and the font on the top about gas.... any ideas why... If you can take a look and tell me what u have www.pricedrite4u.com...

should look like this:

You are using non-standard fonts such as:
Curlz MT
Kristen ITC

Unless you have that font on the computer viewing the site it will use an alternative if named or try to put "something" in there ...

To reliably get non-standard font text, you need to make it into an image and substitute that for the plain text.

Image Titles and Categories Dressing can help you do that.

better: use http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr

Or even better: avoid both images and weird fonts, your site may not look extremely well, but your customers wont pretty much care, and search engine can still index your site just fine.

I cannot get my featured product sidebox up it turned it to on and nothing happens... all the settings for the sidebox weren't touched. Any idea?

Do you have any products selected to be "featured"?
That sidebox is smart - it won't show unless there is something for it to do.

i have it on randomly select, unless there is something else i have to set?

i got it to work... is there a way to take out [more] in the heading of the sidebox?

You can find the language file where that text is defined and redefine it to nothing (two single quotes: '').

In Tools > Developers Toolkit, paste [more] into the bottom left box, select all files and search. This will show the file and line number where the text is defined.
