The font size on the stw website has just gone big? I have not zoomed and its the normal size on other pages. WTF?
It's so you don't need your reading glasses. Someone's trying to tell you something. 🙂
So not just me then. I just had Firefox crash on me (something to do with something in the STW ads), restarted it and it came up with the big fonts. Was going to blame Firefox, which these days seems to have become a bloated mess...
A day late I think...
Yup same here looks proper dorky
Glad its not just me. Probably STW acknowledging its readership is getting older. Ads for beige cardigans, comfy slippers and Werthers Originals to follow shortly.
Was ok when this thread first appeared but mine's got big fonts now too - presumably a style sheet or something being updated...
(Chrome FWIW)
It can't be deliberate - it's broken all sorts of layout on the site
I was in the middle of editing another post and when I posted it the font changed. Chrome also.
Weird on Safari too. I don't like change.
It is hard to read
It's very kind of someone to produce an age-tolerant site, but I do have reading glasses thanks.
There's less space for the adverts. So there is an up side.
This is horrible, bigger reading text, same size posting box text and smaller smileys! 😕
CHANGE IS BAD WE FEAR CHANGE THE SKY IS FALLING!!

The comment on line 22 of default.css needs to be switched to "/* */" style rather than single line comment - [url= http://www.xanthir.com/b4U10 ]the way they work[/url] in CSS means it's effectively commenting out the font-size line.
It works quite well at 75% 😉
Looks the same as ever on my phone.

Glad it's not just me (IE9). I was frantically pressing Ctrl+0 to try and resize the page!
Someone doesn't know how to comment in CSS correctly.
The issue is in default.css, line 19...
margin: 0 auto !important; //try to stop adverts removing the auto property
Should be:
margin: 0 auto !important; /* try to stop adverts removing the auto property */
My fee is in the post.

No fee for second place!

Dammit 😛
I like it - now I don't need to zoom in as much 😀
Eh? Looks the same to me.
Try a forced refresh (Ctrl+F5 on a PC) and you'll see the change LG.

If it's any consolation, I know changes were made to the CSS to try to fix the errant advert reported earlier. So, it died in a good cause.
just happened to me a few mins ago (chrome). thought my laptop had gone funny for a moment.

Oh my golly gosh, that's, errr, big, isn't it?
😳
Are the hamsters on EPO?
I'm starting to get used to it...
I zoomed out, but then what I was typing was so tiny I couldn't see it!
Needs addressing methinks.
CSS have a comment
I quite like it, i've zoomed out and it's like the old days of widescreen browsing before responive websites where everything was optimised for a square screen and you had 2/3rds of the screen as white space!

Gah, was ok until about a minute ago.
Too big. Don't like.
back to normal.
Hooray!
Edit: I was starting to quite like the zoomed out look though...
Nope, doesn't look right at all.
It's also screwed the homepage with text, date & views info being overlaid onto each other.
EDIT
Ah yes, that's better, thanks.
Phew!

There is always the option of CTRL +
I'm in the process of switching work laptops - that was very confusing, I thought for a minute the internet had affected my eyesight!
There is always the option of CTRL +
But then I need to add a user stylesheet to increase the font-size. It's all too much...
hurrah!
Wish they would do that to the font in the magazine!

Eh? Not sure if I'm missing your point or you're missing mine. No need for a user style sheet to increase the font size.
Fixed!
(Half an hour ago 😳 )

I always have it zoomed in a bit (high res monitor, old eyes).
In Firefox I just hold Ctrl and roll the mouse-wheel till it is a suitable size. Firefox remembers the zoom level you have set for different websites so no need for user stylesheets etc.
Could I just say I didn't like it either? Or am I too late?
it’s now GONE HUGE! safari OS X yosemite and this post window nearly fills a 24in screen???
still happening here (Chrome)
CTRL-F5 sharkbait should clear it.
Cached, innit.
Phew, a quick CTRL F5 refresh and it's back to normal - or as normal as STW can ever be...
yay... gone. Just hit f5 (no ctrl) - cheers wwaswas
