keeping this on your minds.
Text Size
At long last, it appears we finally have the font size issue figured out after some glitches the last time we tried changing it.
Some fonts are still fixed so as to not break the board layout, but message board text, subjects, post dates, usernames, etc are now all user resizable.

YIPPPPEEEEEEE !!!
THX Ron!!!
This is hardly a solution. Now the default font is bigger than it should be requiring us to decrease the font size for the page to appear normal. In turn this decreases the size of the small fonts, totally throwing everything out of whack. Very, very annoying.
You can easily have scalable fonts without distorting the original GUI.
Broken in both Firefox and IE when "normal" font size is selected.
I have experienced the same thing! Its annoying me..Quote:

The problem is people that use IE demand accessibility features. These users should use something like Firefox that makes simple things like font size adjustment available on every page, regardless of whether the site designer has planned for them. Using em's in CSS is ridiculous. A while back all the standards guys thought it was cool and everyone adopted it. Even their sites are back to their static selves these days. Unfortunately, as you have seen, hardcoding relative font sizes causes a whole other set of problems.
If you need accessibility, download a browser that actually cares about you, and stop sending site designers running around writing 300 lines of code to replace one because your browser uses rendering concepts from 1991.
vBulletin doesn't help. Take a look at the code on even their default template. Endless lines of CSS including browser hacks galore. Apparently if you can trick the w3c into validating your page you're justified in advertising a standards compliant forum.
Such a nightmare! Good luck!
It all looks normal now, except everybody's username is smaller than usual. It looks a little odd, but nothing I can't get used to I guess.
