Forum problem: Oops, I pressed the Change Font Size link

[GC13]

Now it seems I'm stuck choosing between three different font sizes: too big, disgustingly big, and hideously big. Deleting the board cookie doesn't change the font back to where it was, and I can't find a forum option to fix it either.

The funny thing is that as the page loads, the font is at its original size. Then everything finishes loading and the font balloons.

It looks like the fontsizeup function in the Javascript isn't set to ever cycle back to the default font. Can this please be fixed?

Confirmed. However, deleting cookies (manually, didn't try the link at the bottom) definitely does the trick.

Well that was more of a pain than it needed to be. Shows what I get for trusting the board's Delete Cookie link.

Thanks for the info.

Here is the problem:

Code: Select all

function fontsizeup(event)
{
   // Skip tabs; 9 being the ASCII code for a tab
   if (event && getKeyCode(event) == 9)
   {
      return true;
   }

   var active = getActiveStyleSheet();

   switch (active)
   {
      case 'A--':
         setActiveStyleSheet('A-');
      break;

      case 'A-':
         setActiveStyleSheet('A');
      break;

      case 'A':
         setActiveStyleSheet('A+');
      break;

      case 'A+':
         setActiveStyleSheet('A++');
      break;

      case 'A++':
         setActiveStyleSheet('A');
      break;

      default:
         setActiveStyleSheet('A');
      break;
   }

   return false;
}


Since clicking the "Change font size" only call this function and not the fontsizedown one, once you get to 'A', you only cycle through A -> A+ -> A++ -> A ...
A simple correction is to replace A++ -> A by A++ -> A--

But why does it never return to normal size? A is apparently not the default size.

[mikewalker11]

Because it loops around. you can get from, say, F to A, but not the other way.

1. Useless bump. (is this fixed btw?)
2. Ignorant answer.

It loops between A, A+, and A++. There is no F. After clicking the button once it never returns to normal size. Therefore A, A+, and A++ are all bigger than normal size. Therefore normal size is not A. Which is WEIRD!!

You can avoid deleting the cookies by manually changing the style the forum pages are using. Internet Explorer users can go to "View" menu and select "Style." I don't have IE in front of me, but try selecting a different one from the "A" styles. Firefox users can bring up the "Style Editor" portion of the "Web Developer" console and deselect all the "A" styles.

Style "A" is indeed NOT the smallest, so you want to force the browser to use the small default. Unfortunately, the "Change font size" selection in the forum interface never takes you off the "A" train.
