hey! did the font and font size just change for anyone else? it just got bigger, and I didn't change anything....

I know how to adjust my own browser font size, and I tried that, but it doesn't go back to the size it used to be.

Mine too. It's probably just inflation.

Mine, too--though I see as I'm typing that it's like it used to be.

EDIT--reading the above after posting, it's big. But again, smaller as I type.

Let me guess, you've all recently upgraded to IE 7. The earlier versions always did render fonts smaller than other browsers.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Well, I haven't. I just checked, since I've downloaded a couple of things lately--one of which asked me if I wanted IE7--but I still have 6. I had called my computer guys and was told most definitely do not get IE7 yet, so I didn't check the box, but I thought that somehow it might have downloaded without me realizing it. (My computer does all kinds of things that I don't find out about until later!)

... eta and I would use such an abomination on our Macs.

I didn't see the font increase when eta first pointed it out -- it took a couple more visits for it to kick in (Firefox). Go figger.

I have not yet upgraded to IE7, but the font just got bigger for me in the viewing, not the replying, today. I wasn't here yesterday. I also can no longer get here from my bookmark as of the weekend. I get to the Wordsmith homepage and there is no menu to select the talk board from. I have been getting here by clicking the link in an e-mail informing me that I have a new private message. Anyone else having this problem?

Okay, I just refreshed my bookmark and mas nada, but after clicking on A Word A Day on the homepage, the pull down menu was on that page.

Edit : Any of the links except Liststat have the pull down menu.
