Hi Andrew, Good to have you on this group - it's more productive than just complaining about stuff behind your back. :)
When you said "some adjustments have been made" - what adjustments? I just tried it out again, but couldn't notice any difference. Personally the main adjustment I would love to see is a bigger difference between the two styles. That should be quite helpful. I understand that the real estate is precious on these kind of websites, but it might help to just put something like "Change Font Size" as a title above the two icons - that way people will understand immediately what it is for. Cheers, Andreas. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Coffey Sent: Thursday, 10 November 2005 3:23 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] Font resizing I can say that the functionality for the font resizing was not even touched as part of the recent design, but since seeing this thread some adjustment have been made. See you can make a change people, well done :-) Andy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Geoff Pack Sent: Thursday, 10 November 2005 3:05 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] Font resizing It is on the news story pages, but not the homepage. Strangely enough though, the small font size in the stories is bigger than the default size on the home page.
