Brewerfan's message board font sizes are set up to be based on your browser's defaults. That gives users a lot of flexibility.

 

You can change your browser's default font size in your its preferences/options panel. You didn't mention which browser was causing an issue for you, so I'll give one example: in Firefox, you can change your default font size by hitting the Content tab in the preferences/options.

 

If this has happened suddenly, you might want to try dumping your browser's cache. Kristin was doing some experimenting with the skin yesterday, so it's possible you may have cached a previous style sheet. Things have since been restored to the 'pre-experiment' state.

I have AOL as my browser still can't get it to be smaller.. any help would be great!

As I've never seen AOL's browser, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and hope it helps.

Change Text Size in AOL:

1. Under 'My AOL' in the AOL Toolbar, select Preferences.
2. Then click on the WWW icon in the scrolling list on the left.
3. On the right, click on Advanced Settings. A dialog box will appear with a collection of controls on the right and a column of options on the left.
4. Select the Browser Display option on the left.
5. You can set the Text Size to 'Large' or 'Largest' for more comfortable reading.
6. Click the OK button in the Advanced Settings dialog box and then click the OK button in the Preferences dialog box to make your new settings take effect.

Stephen Poley says:

The current version is based on Internet Explorer, but apparently one cannot directly adjust the text size in the AOL Browser. One has to start up Internet Explorer itself, adjust the text size there, and then switch back to the AOL Browser. (If you think this is pretty strange, I can only agree with you. Strongly. And suggest you might like to try downloading yourself a decent browser.)

16px is the typical browser default. That should render the bulk of Brewerfan's content at about 12px. Fiddle around until you're comfortable, and let us know if you need more help.
