Looks like an issue with your browser / font set up. I'm looking at this right now on a Surface Pro 6, with a High DPI display (running at 200% DPI), which is prone to having issues like this on sites that aren't optimised.

If you're using a Chromium based browser, try this browser extension and play around with the font settings to see if it helps?

Ah, another reason Firefox is becoming a minority in terms of browser usage. What an utterly paranoid, stupid option to have in a browser. For decades designers begged for having more control over fonts on websites, and finally in the past 5 years or so we have them and work well, and Mozilla comes along and donks it all up. Glad to see you got it sorted out - I'm still researching the Edit BBCode option... Oh, and that quote reducer is working quite nicely I see!

Well, since there is no separate editor/screen for replying to posts, what would something like a cancel button do in that scenario?

I think you'll find the editor with a few more options now Have you tried the Tomorrow's Harvest theme yet? Link to change themes is at the bottom of the forum index.

LOL @ "apple-user mindset" and "non-normies" - I understand the flexibility and customization aspects, but for it to be on by default is just wrong (and not at least let users know of the option either way). BTW I used to be a huge Firefox user before it became more and more bloated, and consumed too much memory, etc. It's gotten a lot better since version 60+, but it's just lost the plot at this point IMO... 2 minutes ago, hello spiral said: Mobile still looks like ass Which theme? I haven't done anything to WATMM Classic as of yet; trying to sort out a few of these issues peristing... and just saying "looks like ass" isn't very helpful - is there actually something besides aesthetics that is preventing you from using the site on mobile? That would be what I would want to put priority to first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good - I was worried they were getting a bit too paranoid with 'user control'. Odd though he had it on by default (unless he turned it on at some point and forgot).
