Tiny quotes

Jason · December 15, 2018, 09:55:13 AM

Thought of checking the forums provided by the people who make our forum software at simplemachines.org . It looks like the quotes are smaller than regular text there, too. Here's an example. But overall the text is bigger.

Interesting. I am now looking at our forums from Firefox in Linux Mint. My profile has the same look and feel setting, but the quoted text is larger. Go figure.

What were you using before? I reinstalled this theme as you might have noticed with the default logo of theirs in the upper-left. I checked the quotes right after (at least I think I did), and they were still smaller than the main text but now they appear to be the same size in both Firefox and Chrome in Kubuntu. I was tired when I was doing it

Buster, are you noticing a difference?

I was using Firefox on Ubuntu, which is what is on my home computer. I notice the difference in themes, and now the quoted text is the same size as the rest of the text.

Let me know if that changes.

Looks like the default theme changed, and along with that, the tiny quote text is back.

I haven't changed it since you last posted. Did anything change on your end (different browser, OS, etc?). Make sure (click on Change and force if you're not sure) it that you're using studioV1 as your Current Theme. If that doesn't work, try other themes to see if tiny quote text shows up there, too.

I didn't change anything (that I know of). Weird.

Have you checked to see if you can change themes to make doubly sure you're using the same one as me, Fox?

Buster, if you're reading this, can you tell us if you're still experiencing the tiny quotes?

fox · December 16, 2018, 05:10:40 PM

Yes I can change, and am now using StudioV1

Did it have any effect?

Not that I can tell. Quotes are normal size now, but they were as soon as the motif changed to this red colour, and that was before I changed the theme.

Okay, I'm really confused. You said the tiny quote text was back with the change in default theme. Then I suggested you change the theme. You did and I asked if it had any effect and you said no, but now you're saying it's normal sized and was before you changed themes.
So is the quote text a reasonable size now?

fox · December 18, 2018, 06:58:15 AM

Some misunderstanding there. Quotes are normal size now, and they have been since the "red theme" (whether from default or StudioV1 because it changed in the former without my doing anything).

For me the red theme (well groomed?) has easier reading with the quotes, but unpleasant harshness in its overall look. I'm sticking with the default. (Obviously I have much keener eyes than Mike the Elder too.)
