Your approach means that everyone's post text is the same size, apart from yours, which is huge. Given that you're aware of the font size setting I highly suggest <i>you</i> consider using it rather than inflicting your enormo-font on everyone.<br /> <br /> Your current approach is somewhat anti-social, especially given that you've implicitly acknowledged that it's both redundant and nonsensical.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 31 Oct 2011 11:21 by X3N0PH0N</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=39066.15&return_msg=39066.15" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="39066.15"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a39066_16"></a><div class="message" id="message_39066_16"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: JonCooper<span class="message_time">31 Oct 2011 11:27</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ComtronBob <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 31 Oct 2011 12:26"></span></span> <span class="message_count">16 of 87</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=39066.16">39066.16</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=39066.13">39066.13</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b><a href="messages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=39066.13">ComtronBob</a></div><div class="quote"><br /> Barring that, you may notice near the bottom of the page a section labeled "Adjust text size".  I highly suggest you consider its use.</div><br /> <br /> but your formatting overrides that!<br /> I have mine set to 10, used to be 8 but I got old, your fonts are bigger than anyone else's<br /> <br /> aside from that, your posts are very helpful, kinda reminds me of how this place was 10 years ago (in a good way)<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 31 Oct 2011 11:28 by JONCOOPER</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=39066.16&return_msg=39066.15" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="39066.16"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a39066_17"></a><div class="message" id="message_39066_17"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">31 Oct 2011 11:46</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 31 Oct 2011 11:53"></span></span> <span class="message_count">17 of 87</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=39066.17">39066.17</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=39066.15#a39066_15" target="_self">39066.15</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">enormo-font</div><br /> <br /> <span class="emoticon e_giggle" title="(giggle)"><span class="e__">(giggle)</span></span><br /> <br /> You should patent that. <span class="emoticon e_csad" title=":C"><span class="e__">:C</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=39066.17&return_msg=39066.15" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="39066.17"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a39066_18"></a><div class="message" id="message_39066_18"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">31 Oct 2011 11:58</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ComtronBob <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 31 Oct 2011 12:26"></span></span> <span class="message_count">18 of 87</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=39066.18">39066.18</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=39066.14">39066.14</a></div> <div class="message_body"> What Lucy said.

somewhere in the middle).  So something here is screwing with the relative font sizes.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana">In any case, as a test, for this post, I have set the size attribute to "undefined".  Which should let Teh forum's default settings control things.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana">Before I create a separate Frontpage template just for Teh forum, let me hear
