Scott, I'm using IE5.5, and I'm having trouble with font sizes. The subjectmarks page is too small and non-adjustable, but one post per page is fine. Then if I go to 10 per page, fonts are too small again... Thanks, Frank

Scott, I'm now seeing a new flaky font type when viewing "Next 10". It's bigger, which is okay, but it's plug ugly and painful to read. It is different than the font I see when viewing single messages (Arial, I think), which is smallish but quite readable. I'm using IE 5 and classic.

Scott, I hope you make them all consistently LARGER! And all these multiple posts are getting frustrating. I'm seeing multiple posts in the range of 3 to 7 times. I really hope this is something that will be fixed over the weekend. A couple weeks, IMHO is totally unacceptable, but consistent with the new era SI has found itself thrown into. You promise us time and time again you will fix things, but than just blow them off...a couple weeks, than they'll forget all about it. Again, I don't mean to be lashing out at you personally, but for Christ's sake, hire some competent programers, would you, please????

Scott, I see many comments about font changes. My Netscape allows me to increase or decrease font size I see on your downloaded pages using "Ctrl ]" or "Ctrl [." Also, buried somewhere in Netscape are options about whether to use the fonts I have specified or those in the web pages as downloaded. Is this part of the problem some users are having with fonts? Does this need to be explained to us? How do you manage these issues between the fonts you specify in a a web page and what my browser chooses instead to use?
