Shortly after the forum-script update, the default font was changed from smallish and gray (alternating with black) to medium-sized and (always) black, as a kindness to us oldsters who can't see worth a darn. :wink:

This morning, the font appears to have reverted back to smallish and (alternating) gray. :cry:

While the new favicon (the green-on-black "pi" symbol) is quite nice, somehow the installation of this item appears to have caused a problem with the "Post a New Topic" link and the default font settings. Was perhaps an old stylesheet uploaded along with the favicon graphic file...?

Thank you! :D

No the favicon was just coincidental with an upgrade from release candidate to final release of the software, so that's what messed things up. One moment please....

How's this?

I almost replied with more whining, but then I remembered how that worked out last time... :wink:

So I hit "Reload" to force the browser to download the updated formatting settings, and -- Bob's your uncle! -- the text is back to being large and black! :D

Thank you! 8-)

Back to tiny type again...?

Some portion of the back end of the forums was tweaked recently (if I understand this thread correctly), and the default font is back to being rather small. It isn't gray, which is good, but bigger would be nice, too. :wink:

Hrm. The only change I made was in the css file for printing... and even then all I did was stop hiding images. I don't mean this to sound like such a stupid question, but are you sure it's smaller? It seems the same for me, but then again I've never been one to remember things :p

A few other comments:

You can adjust the size of the fonts easily with the " A^ " thing under the search bar in the top right of all these pages. Click on it a few times and notice what happens.

Firefox 3 has a really nice page zoom feature. Instead of just enlarging the font size which sometimes throws off everything else, it actually zooms everything on the page.

Of course, if I have made the text smaller on here I want to fix that... I'm just mentioning these as related tips for everyone.
