I also can't view my profile, is this some kind of bug?

No, it's a completely intended feature that you will never see your profile.

Get the "No Squint" extension. It allows you to zoom the page and text independently. It also remembers settings for a page once you set it. I had to reduce the text size to get VGC to look right.

Most people just browse the front page and never go into the forums section.  It would be pretty easy to miss this sort of stuff.

I have had no issues

he is using some version of linux it seems

Sorry, I thought I had mentioned that. This is Firefox 3.0.3 on Kubuntu 8.04.

Well there's your problem.  Your system fonts are probably less than stellar for the web.

And yet, I don't have this problem on any other site... And another user above reported having the same issue.

Works fine for me in ff3.3
