forum_emoticons.html	[quote=antp,92097]It is strange, as on my Firefox they were about the same size. I think that before they were using the default font of the OS (so rather random from one PC to another), but now they use the same font as the rest of the page. All texts have exactly the same size, plain text and fields. I'll try to slightly increase the size of the box around the fields to make all a little nicer, but the text of the fields has no reason to be bigger than the rest. Or if you want a bigger text in overall, there is the new option 'Larger text' in the profile. Maybe I'll slightly increase the overall size of everything and put an option to define a custom zoom like for the admin pages. I'll contact via private message you tomorrow so you can check on an old copy of the site (similar to the test site), if you can make a screen capture, so I can try to understand better what exactly you miss from the old version ;)[/quote]

What do you mean by "the larger font set"?
It is the same font as other fields and the text of the page, and (should) becomes larger when you change the text size in your profile (not the management page setting).

When releasing the new version last week I briefly increased its size, but afterwards I changed it back (when tweaking a little the field sizes, to address complains), thinking there was no reason why specifically that one would be bigger.
In the old version of the site, it was depending on the OS/browser, like other fields, so for some it was bigger and for others it was a similar size.

One thing that I have noticed, is that when you are writing a comment, the font size is the small size and not the larger font set. Or is that part of the "Management pages" setting? Because I had that set to 100%?

antp

Indeed... but that's not very useful to collapse it, as it will be collapsed again next time you open the page.

If you wanted to see them you see them :tongue:

Just a suggestion, regarding the "view more" feature to show the list of alternate titles - there's no way to collapse the list once you've expanded it.

I had to engage the bot filter once yesterday

antp

Well, people with a different eyesight won't experience it the same way :tongue:

Right now it seems to work well, maybe the server was more loaded two hours ago.
I don't really have time to check further right now :ohwell:

If it works fine at 95% what is the problem for you? :tongue:

No problem for me, but it would be nice if everyone could experience the site the same way I do. As for the site speed, right now (12.30pm Europe time) the site is so slow that it's practically unusable.

This is a random edge case when 100% does not fit but 95% does, but in many cases both fit, and in other cases none of the two fit.
Maybe I should a little increase the thumbnail size too, at some point, it may be better than reduce the text size for many people :grin:

(not everybody can read small texts like us :wink:

About the speed, there are some bots that are very active :ohwell:

When the site is slow, an admin can enable the bot filter. Yesterday it worked well when I did it, but there must be an admin active on the site for that.

Antp, here's an example of why the larger text size is worse. See Cadillac - on the left (100% size) the text doesn't all fit onto 2 lines, spilling over onto a 3rd line. The right side is 95% (how it looked like before).

By the way, the site has been very slow the last few days.
