Changing font size based on post content

Recently I've noticed an odd change to a slightly larger font and slightly wider spacing between lines in posts that don't have quotes in them, even in my own posts that before were the 'normal' style.  Posts with quotes in them are behaving normally.

This appears to be independent of who is posting, and a change in the default size.  Am I just losing my mind, or are other people seeing this too?

As a comparison, here's myself, quoted.  I'll include some more sentences of random text in the hope of getting a wrap within a paragraph, and then linebreaks after the paragraph.  Note that I didn't change any of the font settings, they're default in both of the posts I've made so far.
More text!

I noticed this too, but I like the bigger text.  Easier to read.

My aging eyes agree with GelatinousOctahedron, although the larger text also looks blockier, something I don't fancy much.

What you didn't notice is that anything that comes before a quote is still in the larger size...

All the text in everyone's posts in this thread (including in quote blocks) looks exactly the same from here.

So I can only conclude that you're all losing your minds.

I am seeing the difference. Browser-based, perhaps? I'm on Firefox 10.

Possibly Browser based, although I see it in both Firefox 10 and IE 8.

I'm using Firefox 10 as well. Still nothing at this end. I tried opening this thread in IE 8. No funny font size problems there, either.

I see it in FF10 with adblock, noscript (wizards.com only allowed) and Ghostery.

I do *not* see the difference in IE9 - but I'm not logged in in IE9, and when logged in I use a non-default older-style skin. 

What Skin are people using?

It's a CSS issue:

I'm using chrome and the font size alternates between posts. The first post in this thread looks like it has a larger font. The second post has a smller font. It continues to alternate in size from post to post.

So, this is still happening


  • And it happens with a variety of formatting


Is this just the new normal?  It's still rather jarring, and looks unprofessional.

looks like they're using relative font size values in their css [i didn't bother to check]. nesting + that will cause these sorts of problrms.

So why is it only affecting some people and not others? I've still never seen this particular bug.
