(kind of wish I'd never bothered upgrading now

And just checked it in safari -the page I tweaked -the filmography page -when you reload it, the graphics placeholder from the template site I used to make mine comes up momentarily before my own graphic appears... just a nightmare... how do I downgrade back to 10 please? 12 has just made a mess.

Try deleting everything on-line and then upload anew

Very unlikely to be the fault of V12 as TG would be inundated with complaints

Why though is if previewing in 12 in the browser preview function with ropey text but in the same function in 10 looks fine? This is on my pc not on the net? Only difference between the two is 10 is the 32 bit version and 12 is the 64bit version. 10 is standard and 12 is premium. My windows 8 is 64bit.

It may work ok in the browser preview but when you upload to the net it does not like the old version files and you get weird happenings. Best to take down the old files and upload the new ones as has been suggested. I have had to do this on occasions.

Just deleted the entire site online and reuploaded. Made no difference at all.

Same smudged and untidy text fonts in Firefox and same placeholder with made up Latin text coming up on safari for a split second when it loads.

No issues here in FF. All text is clear. Have you refreshed your browser (Ctrl. + F5)?

Yes-it just looks worse and I have the template placeholders now coming up too before my own graphics come up-always wanted to see a chef randomly appear on my website....

I'm just reinstalling a back up of my site before the upgrade on my pc. I've uninstalled 12 and going to reboot and try reinstalling again to see if that works. if it doesn't I'm reinstalling 10 again and resigning myself to £60 wasted and a whole day... I know my Firefox is okay because other sites look perfectly fine. Just my own looking rubbish.
