Size's characters by default are now like this ;)
So some big :)
Don't be affraid by the underlines, it's my French dictionnary, so all English words are false ;)

Hi Pilou, yeah previously the text sizes could be a bit different in different web browsers, one thing I'm trying is to maybe make it a bit more consistently sized across different ones.

Try holding down the Ctrl key and turn the mouse wheel to adjust the size, does that solve it for you?

- Michael

Ctrl + mouseweel works fine ;)

Another thing ;)
There is now no possibility to go to foreign Forum !

Hi Pilou,

> There is now no possibility to go to foreign Forum !


I've added in a "Languages" dropdown in the upper right corner now.

But I'm thinking of removing those other foreign language forums, they are just not getting very much use.

- Michael

Don't kill the French one ;)
Even it's slow that is an classified info !

It looks awful here in Chrome browser. Just sayin.

Hi Nick,

> It looks awful here in Chrome browser. Just sayin.

You may have some partially cached stuff mixing with the new stuff.

What happens if you push F5 or Ctrl+F5, does that fix it?

Also what version of Chrome are you using? I have tested over here with Chrome version 5.0.375.70 which I think is the latest.

- Michael

Thanks for your attention Michael. I do have the latest Chrome (as you do) and it pretty much looks like Pilou's screen shot (too big and looks like bold is on). Yes, I could scroll wheel the size down, but the fact that it has to be done says somethings not right to me. But really, dont sweat it, I was only giving feedback FYI. :-) Yes, I refreshed the browser.

-->on further inspection, its mostly the forum that looks like this. although the sidebar on the main page looks similar.
-->also, i went 'under the hood' in chrome and 'obliterated' all the history data. still looks the same.

Hi Nick, well what you show there looks like how it is supposed to at least for the moment.

Unfortunately it's pretty difficult to get a default font size that looks the same on everyone's computer and web browser.

Maybe I will notch the default down in size slightly.

- Michael

I was struck with the size at first also. Thought I had inadvertently hit some kind of text size option in my browser. Perhaps down one notch wouldnt hurt much....

Hi Michael..

I dont want to harp on it either, but noticed this. The size is only in the forum. The home and resources and all the other pages remain as I am used to or expected. Just the forum comes up like it's magnified.

If I use Ctrl+Minus twice, it sizes the same as the rest of the site. That would be 20% smaller.

FYI.

Hi marco, yup I'm familiar with those first 2.

The main thing that is annoying with CSS font sizing is that there is a lot different behavior between different browsers - WebKit and Opera do not handle point text sizes in a good way, they don't actually use the DPI of your screen.

Normally in a desktop application when you want to create text at say 10pt height, you calculate the corresponding pixel size by applying the screen DPI, so that the actual pixel height is calibrated by the user's DPI setting.

It does work that way in IE and Firefox, but unfortunately in WebKit and Opera, they just seem to ignore the screen DPI setting and pretend that it's always a fixed value. That results in a smaller font size in those browsers in higher DPI situations. But I guess if I worry about fixing that then I get too large of a size in other cases so I guess I'll just have to let WebKit and Opera users scale up text if it is too small.

- Michael

Ok, the font size should be back to the same as it used to be.

If you've moved the size up or down, you can use Ctrl+0 (Ctrl+Zero) to return to the default size again.

Safari 5 ?
http://www.apple.com/safari/

Hi Pilou - Safari is based off of the WebKit engine same as Chrome.

- Michael

I use Safari 5 ... and all is fine ;)

Hi ycarry, yup the size issue should be resolved now.

Just a few more tweaks to do...

- Michael

Hi Michael,

I got some strange triple scroll bar depending of the page resolution, IE8/Win7 64

EDIT: Ok the zoom page was at 105%, everything turns ok at 100%
