Some of the widths and sizes of HTML controls don't properly follow font size changes.  Ctrl-+ a few times in FireFox to see  some unfortunate clipping.

The sizes can be based on ems to avoid this.

Can you elaborate a bit? I must admit, CSS is one of the things I hate and I am not quite good at.

The widths of the buttons and forum dropdown are OK as the font sizes get bigger.  However, the heights don't get any bigger, so the bottoms of the letters and eventually the whole word becomes invisible.

The width of the textarea I am typing into right now doesn't change with font size, but the height does, so the text wrapping starts much sooner than expected.

Let me know if you need screen shots.  When I get some time, I can look into your CSS for suggestions.

The buttons can be fixed by setting:

.inputtextbox {height: 1.7em;...
.inputbutton {height: 1.7em;...

1.8em may look better to you.

The widths on the "Post your Reply" boxes are caused by this: style="width:450px;" in the generated HTML.  Is there a reason they weren't in the style.css?

Sailorfred, thanks for all the tips. I am going to use them for the next version.

I can't tell a specific date. I am working on it. That's a total rewrite of the whole backend, admin + lots of new features (in short, it will take time to code it and test it). Maybe the end of January.
