Hello,

When I view these forums in Firefox I get larger fornts then when I view them in Internet Explorer. I ticked in Firefox the option "Allow pages to use their own fonts". Any suggestions how to fix that? Thanks.

What page style have you selected Robert since it seems to work fine here?

The "A" selection is normal although you can switch styles to a larger font - click the A near the top right will increase and/or decrease the size

I cannot check Explorer since I don't use Windows - what do other people see?
Cheers

The Susan Polgar discussion forum uses the same software - have a look what results you get there as well in both browsers

See what that looks like?

Hello Carl,

Thanks for the reply.

I do not quite understand what do you mean by that.

This works in Internet Explored but does not work in my Firefox. It could be something temporary, as before the font was ok in Firefox too.

In the menu of Firefox - select View then Page Style then just the A button, it should get fixed at 10 pixels then?

Otherwise I am struggling for an answer at the moment

You could use the 'delete all board cookies' option down at the bottom right - this will log you out and clear all the settings

Try that maybe?

The "A" button does change the page style but with no effect (in my Firefox), i.e it does not mater if I change the page style via menus or via the "A" button.

I have tried other Firefox on other computer and it is working fine, I belive when I reboot my machine it will start working again (re-starting Firefox and deleting cookies did not help).

Thanks for your help.

Site looks practically identically in both browsers here. IE7 and Firefox.

I have never had that problem in here, but in some sites when I had an earlier version of Firefox, try deleting it and installing a different version. Worked for me! :D

With the same version of Firefox on another computer I can get smaller fonts. If reboot does not help I might try to re-install Firefox.

In FireFox use "Ctrl" and "-" to reduce or "+" to increase font sizes.
