Text sizing in latest Vanilla version

For those of you scratching your head about the size of signature elements in posts, this is "straight from the horse's mouth":

"We removed 'size' as a feature due to accessibility issues. Allowing members to dictate the size at which others read text is a bad experience for low-vision users, as well as users with reading challenges."

I encapsulated my sig elements in a "Spoiler". Cheesy, but cuts down on thread page creep. Too bad you can't rename "Spoiler".

    I find using the Zoom function in Google Chrome at 110 to 125 percent works for me.

    Interestingly enough, the text size on this site is about the same as it is on Facebook. Probably not a coincidence. >:)

    Oddly enough, the font size locked in for the signature is larger than the font size in message bodies. Weird science. I suppose that was what I was trying to overcome.

    My work around (to reduce system listing bloat) was to screen capture my old sig and upload it, making note of the URL where it lands, then calling that URL in a link in the new sig. Whew!

    Thanks for the tip. That is an improvement!

    I just disabled signatures in posts.
    No offense meant to those of you who use them.

    The proverbial horse is the Admin of the Vanilla support website. No clue regarding your second question.

    This entire site is a bad experience for those of us with no vision or reading challenge issues.
