As asked, why are replies shown in much larger text than the original post. For example ..

    That thread don't look like that with my browser and settings for it.

    So look at your browser settings?

    Browser has just one text size option. Changing that setting affects replies but not the original post. This is with text size set to maximum ..

    at maximum ..

    No answer to this one? Just another defect I guess.

    I've been directed to this thread as I have exactly the same bug on my tablet.  Will e-mail in a bit.

    I'm using Opera on Android. I ditched Firefox a few years ago when their "upgrade" brought in all those nested menus.

    Looks like someone has messed up the style sheet again.  On android phone/chrome browser, everything is tiny, some impossible to read, except for the posts where the font is so massive that a single sentence can fill the entire screen.

    Time for another try and a bit more testing prehaps?

    I agree … my eyesight is bad and sometimes my floaters are bigger than the characters.

    Hi everyone 

    If you haven't already, please email [email protected] about this issue.

    I've not been able to reproduce it on Android. Emailing in letting us know more about your device (especially browser versions if you can find that out) would be really helpful.
