I thought I was going nuts for awhile but in this test page I have noticed that Heading 2 and 4 seems to have proper spacing between the lines but heading 3 as more spacing. Does everybody else see this? We haven't done much customization so I don't ...

Help! I'm having an issue issue with a SCORM file. I've never had problems before. I can see the file just fine from the SCORM page, but it won't display from modules or the button on the homepage I've linked to the assignment. The assignment and cou...
