It looks fine in Mozilla. (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016). I think Rio might need to upgrade to a more recent version of Netscape Communicator to see it right.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Mozilla on the PC is fine, but in Netscape 4.78, there's no size change.
Testing
edit: Nope, no joy in Netscape

OK, I've got Netscape 4.79 on my home PC, and it's also not doing the small font thing. Lemme try one more thing:
Am I small?
Nope. Definitely a Netscape 4.X bug.

Yeah, but it works on Netscape over at WX.

Wow, you're right! I looked at the page source for posts on both systems and neither one is altering the font tag. I wonder if it's another browser-won't-override-the-stylesheet issue?

Could be. There's also that thing with the font and pre tags in Netscape that I experimented with last week:

This place (and LiveJournal) pretty much forced me to move from Netscape to Mozilla. Too many gotchas. OTOH, I have all sorts of problems using Mozilla with the Microsoft Knowledge Base. You can't frelling win.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
FWIW, all of those have looked small in Opera. (er, all that were supposed to. the rest looked normal-sized)

It's a stylesheet issue. Simply having
p { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px; font-style: normal}
in the stylesheet, or just in a
t style
tag in the page header, is preventing the font size tag from working. Actually, it's the
font-size
parameter specifically that's causing the problem.
And it's not the same px vs. pt issue that was brought up earlier. I tried using pt instead of px and the Netscape 4.x bug remained.
I don't know what we can do.

Instead of using a point or pixel size for message text, can you just leave the size parameter out of the style sheet (edit:) for the message text? Then the browser default size would be in effect, and there would be nothing to override a user changing the font size, right? It would only be necessary for the message text.
