Title: Font size change

For some reason, the font size of forum quotes now appear much larger than the text of the post. This appears to be true of posts that a few days ago appeared normal. I poked around the "look and layout" control, but couldn't see anything that could have affected this.
Any idea what might have changed?

I've recently started to receive large print Readers Digest and AARP literature, maybe it's something like that? :laugh:

Before it was too small and hard to read sometimes, but now, well maybe a bit large for a quoted section.
It just makes it more important to quote only the important area, not an entire post.

Given that it seems widespread and not something I've done inadvertently, may I ask the fine moderators and administrators whether someone is looking into this?

I'm not sure there is anything to look into.
Its just a change in the program.

Wait... You have doughnuts?!?
I didn't notice at first. It seems that quote text is now the same size as other text. A simple CSS change.

I think it's a javascript bug since it does that for me randomly but going into view, zoom, reset (in firefox) fixes it temporarily.

Those are probably "special" moderator donuts...can't talk about doses or the raspberry "filling".

I am fine with it - if I don't like the size I just reset my font size in my Google Chrome, I set all of them - there is VERY little I CAN do but that I do know how :angel:

And the ones that look like powdered sugar are really "cartel" doughnuts!

The font size should not be that big, something else is causing it. Try pressing Ctrl 0 if you are using firefox.

OK, I've been viewing the site using Chrome. I tried Firefox and I'm not having a problem, so it's something with Chrome.

in chrome you use Setting - Advanced Settings - Font size - and you adjust whatever you want you can actually choose a different font and adjust each one to each size you want (you use the slider I think you slid it too far to the right

I use Firefox on my Dell Laptop, operating Windows 8. No problem.
Never had a problem on my desktop computer (Windows XP-Home) either, like this.

Has the font size of "Show unread posts since last visit. / Show new replies to your posts." increased for anyone else? Or maybe I'm just plain crazy. I don't have a problem with quotes, but that bit seems bigger than usual, maybe just by a size.
