Just for info: I’m now logged in on my PC (Sony Vaio laptop, Windows 7) in both Firefox & Chrome. The text doesn’t look ANY bigger or blacker than it ever has, in either of these browsers, but at least on this computer Chrome seems to behave normally.
On the iPad (Safari) the text is absolutely teensy and still too grey for my liking. I can re-size the page easily enough, but then I lose part of it.
Also, on the iPad, when I click on the main Forums home page, the bit of text to the right of each category is only two or three characters wide (i.e. per line), making the column – and hence the page – very long indeed, which means a lot of scrolling just to get to the bottom. But once you click on an individual forum or one of its topics, it’s OK again, apart from being microscopic.
PS: I see the little sticky-out tongue is gone from my Tags box. I kinda miss it…
