Vbulletin programmers (the software these boards run on) seemingly never took into account user accessibility when implementing CSS.

However we need to. Yes, for many folks, the old size was fine and all, but there are many visitors who had trouble reading the boards before and couldn't adjust the font size adequately - now they can.

What's disturbing to me is that the Vbulletin developers still don't seem to care about accessiblity even after numerous comments over the years - I just checked the newsest v3.5 default CSS and it's still basically all the exact same fixed sizes

On an aside, this font issue is among the numerous reasons the Marihemp Network boards (yes, some minor revisions of that software is planned) remains running, and will indefinitely, is that systm meets the needs of many folks and is very accessible ... Vbulletin looks nice, but has a lot of dependencies that make it "fragile" and thus does not always work as expected in some situations.

I've reduced the font size slightly to look more "normal" while hopefully solving the microscopic size font problem that some briefly experienced earlier.

Finally, anyone with suggestions for adjustments we should try with the CSS, please feel free to post them in a reply to the font size thread in the feedback board.
