Recently I've noticed an odd change to a slightly larger font and slightly wider spacing between lines in posts that don't have quotes in them, even in my own posts that before were the 'normal' style.  Posts with quotes in them are behaving normally.

This appears to be independent of who is posting, and a change in the default size.  Am I just losing my mind, or are other people seeing this too?

As a comparison, here's myself, quoted.  I'll include some more sentences of random text in the hope of getting a wrap within a paragraph, and then linebreaks after the paragraph.  Note that I didn't change any of the font settings, they're default in both of the posts I've made so far.

I noticed this too, but I like the bigger text.  Easier to read.

My aging eyes agree with GelatinousOctahedron, although the larger text also looks blockier, something I don't fancy much.
Here are the PHB essentia, in my opinion:
  • Three Basic Rules (p 11)
  • Power Types and Usage (p 54)
  • Skills (p178-179)
  • Feats (p 192)
  • Rest and Recovery (p 263)
  • All of Chapter 9 [Combat] (p 264-295)

A player needs to read the sections for building his or her character -- race, class, powers, feats, equipment, etc. But those are PC-specific. The above list is for everyone, regardless of the race or class or build or concept they are playing.

What you didn't notice is that anything that comes before a quote is still in the larger size...

All the text in everyone's posts in this thread (including in quote blocks) looks exactly the same from here.

So I can only conclude that you're all losing your minds.

Character and world creation are a form of expression. The point is that some people don't have much to say...

I am seeing the difference. Browser-based, perhaps? I'm on Firefox 10.

Possibly Browser based, although I see it in both Firefox 10 and IE 8.

I'm using Firefox 10 as well. Still nothing at this end. I tried opening this thread in IE 8. No funny font size problems there, either.
