Forum Text: It Shrank!?

I havent seen anyone complain yet about the forum posts having smaller text,
so it might be just my Eyes are getting older! :(

So did a search for a browser addin and came across a StyleBot.

Now:
- Post Text is much larger.
- And...All signature images are TINY:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/T2J7cSw.png[/img]
- And... all very Wide images are resized when they Exceed the reading Areas width:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/fJfAJIO.png[/img]
- Main Sites html Body is Left Aligned,,, just my own preference.
:)

I probably (normally) wouldn't bother, but I'm the CSS Zone while adding styling touches to the [url=http://simplegui.izzysoft.com/QnA/]QnA site[/url] I'll need soon. :)

That sounds like it would resize All the text. I sooooo hate that. :(

I just want the User Posted Comments text to be larger. ;)

Ahhh YES I see it now. :) TY.

Added formatting for that too.
Ex: [img]http://i.imgur.com/SkJ9hHB.png[/img]

Edit: Latest css adds a light shade of gray to the background, so reading text doesn't hurt strained eyes. ;)

I'm not sure if anyone else

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this Feature* of thin, lite, antialiased (almost transparent) text like me,
ex: http://i.imgur.com/2dwc1RV.png
and if you dont like it, you might want to use this updated style code here:

I'd rather not use third

I'd rather not use third-party software. What I'm noticing is that the old text-size controls are now missing. I can use text-zoom in my browser, to keep things from getting ridiculous, but some text is extra tiny (like here in the posting window), while other text is extra large (like in the post-display), and Fonts are inconsistent. They're serif, in the post-composition window and sans-serif in the post/thread display!

Be Well!

The text size controls were causing issues with the template. I have been taking the past few weeks to go through the template with a fine toothed comb to identify what is causing which, to then clean it all up.

*Notes text wrapping so that the whole message is visible and legible without side scrolling*
^_^

*Notes lack of Messages link, and that Fireheart has noted it also*
:(
*Logs on with phone*
*Notes wrapping text still works!*
