Did a bunny eat my post?? →[More:]Sorry to bring this up, um, but I made a post asking about some music advice… and poof—it’s disappeared:)

Just wondering where it went… also, can someone tell me the tag for a smaller font, so that I can make an ass of myself less conspicuously—thanks!:-)

that'd be small. No idea about your post.

I sent you an email, hadjiboy. 99% of the time, if a post or comment is removed, the author gets an email, so check there first. Also, in the removed post, someone had suggested that you make your email visible (this can be done from your profile page), as they wanted to give you some advice.

oh - I should say, if you make your email visible from your profile page, it's only visible to logged in members.

to make text small, do this

<small>your small text here</small>

But, please, use it sparingly... I get a headache trying to read small text. Best for just a few words, not paragraphs.

Do’h, should’ve known better than to check my email before typing in that post—sorry Taz!

(I was fidgeting around with my account today and noticed that my email id wasn’t visible, so I switched it on… I think that person might be psychic:))

Thanks again!

speaking of font stuff, I want to know why strike through never works for me.

Are you using <~~strike~~>?

I don't see that on the faq page, I just see

~~Oh, sure - now it works~~

Hey, you could always tinker the CSS ... ;-)

heh... I know. But I figure it's not fair to inflict my bad eyesight preferences on everyone.

Of course, if there were a groundswell of activism regarding increasing the small text size a bit, I might just have to do it. :)

posted by taz 23 January | 12:08

yes, please make smaller be bigger. My eyes are probably worse than yours.

Unless the CSS is using absolute sizes (which AFAIK metachat isn't), you have plenty of control over font sizes via your browser settings.
