Just posting a simple bug report. . . In Netscape 4.79, with default font settings, the forum text appears really tiny. Probably about 9 point font. However, with the same settings in IE 5 (fonts at 12pt), the forum text is absolutely normal. Maybe I'm the only one still using Netscape 4, but I continue to like it. I suppose I'll still have to use IE anyway, since Netscape 4 doesn't always render the pages after downloading them. So consider this pretty low priority.

Nah dude, that's not a 'bug'.
Here's what happened:
Have you noticed how _all_ text on windows appears bigger than on a mac? 10 point on a PC is about 12 point on a mac...
This is basically due to Mac's that use the ratio of one pixel equals one point size (or something like that!)
Anyway, on the net, in order for websites to stay consistant across platforms, all new web browsers enlarge the display of text on mac's to mimic windows...
Okay that was a very shoddy description...sorry mate

If you like Netscape, try NS6, NS7 or Mozilla.

An adjustment to the CSS will resolve this issue, it is a bit anoying.
I don't remember exactly what causes this, I am not to good with CSS, but it is a really simple fix.

No, the issue is that prior to the upgrade, fonts looked perfectly fine in this version of Netscape. Now they're about 9pt. They look the same in IE as the did before. This is something having to do with the coding of the upgrade, because it simply wasn't like this before.
