Wow, this got a few more responses than expected. I really do not browse the forums that often anymore, sorry about the delay. I admit I was mostly ranting --- please don't let this belittle the work you have done, Richard et al. The forums has certainly become a much nicer place to visit, and kudos to that. Now for some specific responses:
It is true that it is possible to fix this issue with user-side stylesheet --- which is how I fix two other issues that web-designers have trouble grasping.
- All links should be underlined --- or I will miss them.
- Leave the font-family alone. --- or you will probably hit some ugly font I have installed for use with consoles, which needs extreme scrolling speed.
So I have
Code:
a:link { text-decoration: underline ! important }
* { font-family: serif ! important }
tt, pre { font-family: monospace ! important }
But I dislike having site-specific fixes in there. And yes Konqueror (the name of my usual browser) does support text zoom, but it is quite annoying for a number of reasons to use on a forum.
Shrapnel forums are, BTW, far from unique in having this problem. Even Gentoo's (in every other way excellent) can't seem to get this simple fact
