And I am far from Auckland (never mind, NZ is so small it wouldn't matter).

Don't know if that's changed at Pliny's end (I have a new laptop, and my screen resolution is different too), but glad it's a better fit.

In the reply window it was about the size and proportions of the thread title you see above every post.. no, in fact it was even bigger. Now it has the same size as in brunel and alabaster I think.

But even in generalized Pliny I have to up my textsize to larger, which is annoying and cannot be blamed on 2legs.

However, some of the clickable link boxes aren't looking quite right - 'post message' reads 'post messag', because the text is too large for the box. That happened a bit with the bbc too.

We know that Pliny doesn't work with the outdated Internet Explorer 6, and we're not going to fix it because IE 6 is being retired by Microsoft at the moment.

Subject: Thursday 19 April, 2012: Announcing Pliny Posted May 10, 2012 by Baron Grim This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 213 Just in case some folks haven't discovered this yet, in most browsers if you want to change the text size "on the fly" you can hold the [Ctrl] key and press the [+] & [-] keys. This comes in handy when you visit web pages with oddly sized text.
