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

Given the messy state of the web, I find it hard to avoid site specific fixes for the sites I regularly vist, and for other sites, disabling author's stylesheet is usually producing very decent results
