Yes, it will affect them.
Not necessarily. WX and The Perfect World remain otherwise unaffected for me.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Hm. I must go to low-rent sites that don't bother with over-riding coding.

Rebecca - Have you tried simply adjusting the default font size in your browser's preferences?
It doesn't look any differently than it did before. Still default size 12. Before I was looking at a body size of Verdana *16*, and quotes size 12; now I'm looking at body size Verdana 12 and quoted text 11. I'm not exactly sure what went down-- I installed Flash 6, it restarted IE for me, and then my fonts were funky.
t looks at thread header I should be in Technology now. Bad me.

I hate to say it, but I think that, having taken off the specific point- or pixel-size for the P tag, the next step should be converting all the other font sizes which have numbers into percentages.
From a quick look at the style sheet, you've got 10,12,14, 16 and 18, so expressed as percentages, using an assumption that 12 is the base font size that would be equivalent to, uh, [goes to use Excel]:
10 83% 12 100% 14 117% 16 133% 18 150% 36 300%
those numbers are a bit clunky, so change them to:
10 80% 12 100% 14 120% 16 130% 18 150% 36 300%
and you should have very little difference, but much greater compatibility.

compatibility with what?
There's lots of tables with specific pixel-sized dimensions, especially in the left-hand column. If I make the font-sizes all percentages, it'll wreak havoc with the layout.

And FYI, the base size was 14px.

I got this header for Natter at 1:03 a.m. -- that's the *new* 1:03, after the time change. Please note the number of new messages.

And this is what I got 3 minutes later:

Then when I clicked in the Natter thread, the final post said 1074 of 1072:

Is it just b/c of the time change?
