default font size in post input box
 

Hi DVINFO,

Don't laugh, but my 6 month old son was sitting on my lap this morning, and he attacked my keyboard. It was awfully cute until I tried a post, and now as I type the post in the input box, the font is incredibly small and I can't figure out how to get it back to normal. Any hints?

For some reason, the font in the "title" box above is fine, but in the "message" box, it's tiny. I've googled, messed around with the font setting in my browser. No joy. Happens in Firefox and in Internet Explorer.

Sigh...hope you're enjoying NAB.

Vito,
the new site look has very very very text size in the reply box. I just doubled the strength of my reading glasses.

The kid didn't do it. ;-)

Hey Don,

You mean it's just a coincidence? Well, if it could be put back to the old size, that would be great.

Thanks,
Vito

Vito,

Same happening here for me.

BTW, is your kid still alive? :-P

Yea, one of those little weirdnesses that slipped through the cracks with the redesign. Should be fixed now.

Fix confirmed.

Andrew

Hey, you guys should worry.............
 

I had a sh*t of a day yesterday, an HP update took out my "all in one" on the entire network, then some as***ole managed to sneak a freebie past my firewall which was like fighting fire with a flamethrower and then I got this message from DVinfo to log onto "blah blah server" instead!

Pissed? I was passed that by that stage, ropeable more like it.

E - mailed Chris and the crew and asked if that last came from them, it had, they were playing with servers.

Gotta tell you, it was one cr*p of a day.

Didn't have a chance to post as I was fighting fires all day, if it was as bad as you guys reckon, think I would have needed a magnifying glass to use it, guess I was lucky!

Quick update .... the editing of an existing post still has this issue.

Andrew

Yep. Though while I was taking this picture, he put the computer into hibernation. I don't even know how to do that wth the keyboard....

Thanks for the font fix!

Yes I can confirm that editing a "just submitted post" still has this font issue. Glad I've got a huge monitor so I can REALLY zoom in and read if what I wrote is jibberish...Just checked again. Still tiny words...still probably jibberish!

Quickedit font size should be fixed.

Jeff,

How about the [size] tag? I doesn't work any more, making text intended to be small and unobtrusive SHOUT (like my signature below).

Please fix that, too.

I'm still getting really minuscule type in the input boxes no matter how I've got it set... have to blow up to ridiculously huge sizes to be able to even read it....

yep, me too. It used to be fine at whatever size it was until these recent "improvements" (designed or otherwise).

Can you guys post what browsers you're using?

I'm using Firefox and Internet Explorer on Windows XP professional. I had the small text problem on both, and the issue is fixed on both for me.

Thanks...

I'm using Chrome for the DVinfo forums.

Andrew

IE8 and Firefox, but everything seems fine now....

Jenn,

IE 8 here. Posting window is fine now, but the [size] tag still not working (like for my signature).

Piotr

Firefox here. It's at least a size that's readable now, but still doesn't seem to be what it was originally.

On further inspection, I think Bill is right. The font is bigger but still not the same size as the type surrounding the input box.

I just noticed the Google Search box and any text contained therein seems to have "shrunk in the wash" overnight.

Fancy adding a bit of fabric softener to take the strain off my reading glasses?


CS

Oh, and while you're down there...............
 

My post box has now started to declare that I have selected to quote a post from a different thread every time I post, even tho' I haven't selcted anything to quote.

Should be easy enough.

Can I mention Regional Flags, or would that be "A Bridge Too Far"?
