I've come to the realization that the ballp.it base (post read) size is too small. Because the site is responsive, it makes for a great many characters on a single line, definitely too many if you're on a wider monitor. I'm thinking of making the post view come close to the standard of 60 characters per line for all posts, with a fallback of 14px for browsers that can't do that sort of math (Safari), leaving most of the actual navigation pretty much the same.

Mobile will change, but only slightly.

Here's a before/after.


Now HULK VOTE.

You need to implement a CSS reset or normalize.css for the text to look the same size across all browsers.

Thanks for this. I usually browse the forum with an iPad mini, and it was hard to click on a specific thread page link with my finger before but now it's all good.

I don't like it. I read things on my laptop, and all this big fonting is just wasting space it's different so I don't like it.
