Back around the first part of September, some new BFT message board upgrades were implemented. Ever since then, I have not been able to post my posts, replys, or PM’s in my preferred font size. My preferred font face is Comic Sans MS. The font size I prefer is 10. As it turns out, ever since the upgrades, size 10 shows up the same as size 8. Size 8 is too small for most of us hard of seeing types and if I go to size 12, it is way too bold and “loud” for my personality.
When I am in the editor I can set the font to 10 and it looks just fine. But when I preview it or post it, it comes out in the small 8 size.
I’ve done a bunch of experimenting and found that this size problem does not apply to all font face types … just some of them.
Here is a link to one of my posts back when it looked and worked correctly:

But here is how it works now:
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 1]This is Comic Sans MS in size 8. This is Comic Sans MS in size 8. This is Comic Sans MS in size 8. This is Comic Sans MS in size 8. This is Comic Sans MS in size 8.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black]This is Comic Sans MS in size 10. This is Comic Sans MS in size 10. This is Comic Sans MS in size 10. This is Comic Sans MS in size 10. This is Comic Sans MS in size 10.[/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]This is Comic Sans MS in size 12. This is Comic Sans MS in size 12. This is Comic Sans MS in size 12. This is Comic Sans MS in size 12. This is Comic Sans MS in size 12.[/size][/black][/font]
If I knew how to modify my posts in HTML I would set the tags to display in true 10 pt. But I don’t know how to do that.
Any ideas, help, or suggestions? If not, I’ll just stick with my very disliked second choices.
