BOM Weather/Airservices website

Is it just me or has the airservices website started shouting at you? Until about a week ago, the screens fitted nicely on my laptop and were easy to read. Now it looks like someone's increased the zoom to 200% and lots of scrolling and large text makes it much harder to read briefings etc?

Also, can someone check what the BOM man in Adelaide is on tonight? from the area 50 forecast:

2. 15800FT WINDS IN 'B' BECOMING 330/35 FROM 14Z.
- wow - thats accurate!

FREEZING LEVEL: 95000FT.
Think I'm safe then.

Little boys (& girls) who lie grow up to be weather forecasters!

Marauder - yes! How can you tell when a politicain is lying? Their lips are moving! And the trouble with political jokes is that they get elected!

Oh how cruel! Everyone knows how easy it is to make a few little slip-ups with your credit card!

And sorry, back on subject now, no, the BoM site works as normal on my computer, apart from the changes they make to the look and functionality now and then.
