: Less bytes to download is always better.

There's no EASY way to keep the small font on the main page, while putting a larger one on the message pages - here's why:

Each message is actually a text file on the server. When it's written, single line breaks are converted to <BR> tags, and doubles are converted to paragraphs. This means that in order to get the messages themselves to show a larger font size (without actually going in and modifying all 115,000 files), I'd have to set the DEFAULT size larger. But then, in order to keep the index font smaller, each table cell would have to be defined with a different class - negating the size reduction I just finished. :(

I'm willing to bump up the DEFAULT size a notch, if people are amenable... that means everywhere; front page, messages, you name it.

Comments?
