Okay, so, in order to use the site, I have to open FF, click tools, clear history, uncheck all the things I don't want cleared, clear cache, wait while FF clears several GB of cache, close FF, re-open FF, try to remember where the heck it was I saw the URL, and re-load the site.

It now appears as I suppose is intended.

I can't read it. When I was 17, I might have had good enough eyesight.

I increase the font size, I get an ugly horizontal scrollbar.

Site is usable. But horizontal scrollbars are a huge no-no.

Well, now that I can see the site, I can also see its purpose. I already own Poser, so it doesn't really matter to me. I won't have to visit the site again. It's a nice site, though, and would look very pretty for those with great eyesight and a very large screen resolution. (I've got a 1920 x 1200, but I can't browse at that resolution: reading blocks of text across a screen that wide would kill my neck).

I've designed enough websites to understand how stupidly hard it is to ensure cross browser compatibility and deal with accessibility issues and bandwidth and varying screen resolutions and to do it all while maintaining an elegant separation of style, structure, and content. With the addition of mobile platforms, it's gotten so horrible that I don't bother any more. So, I commend anyone who succeeds in getting a site off the ground in this environment.
