I suspect a CSS change from pt to px has caused this (in)explicable change in behavior. If I was not so busy (or so lazy), an inspection of the "View Source" might reveal the changes.

The CSS file still has font sizes in pt. It might be a different font. The CSS file was modified yesterday in the early afternoon. I am now seeing the changes, too.

nice detective work, guys. so why would they be messing with the CSS file, when they can't even get the "Who's Online" page worked out?...

the top forums page seems normal; subsequent pages border on being annoyingly large-fonted.

Interesting phrase. Use it often as a pickup line?

I wrote to Anu, and he wrote right back (thank you, sir!); and sure enough he did it on purpose. He had talked to an advisor about making the site easier for all to access, and making the font bigger was one of the Rx. Anu also hopes that getting used to it won't be too much of a problem.

ok. nice to know it was on purpose. I can get used to it, though I'm not crazy about it. it's easy enough for each user to change the font size his/herself; this just hits me the wrong size.
now, can he have the guy fix the "Who's Online" page?

as I work more with this, what bugs me is that it isn't consistent through all areas of the site. it's only a couple of things that have gotten bigger, so when I reduce my overall font size, some things get very small. either increase everything, or nothing.
