Too big in a specific place

Lets get scientific about this.

If your answer is anything except "Its pretty much fine" I need to know

1) What device and browser
2) Specific details of what you would like bigger or smaller.

I liked it when you set it biggerer the first time. Now I just hit Ctrl+.....
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I'm on Chrome viewing the forum on my 15.6" laptop screen in 1920 x 1080 resolution scaled by Windows to 125%.

In Chrome, I have Ctrl - to 90% and that display looks just about right to me and feels like the old forum display size. That's just my $.02 and you can leave it where it is and Chrome will remember that I view it at 90%.

I hope that helps!

Given I have a 14" laptop with 3000 x 2000 resolution, set to 150% scale, I may not be the best judge.

It's no biggy for me as I can easily scale up or down and the OS remembers my preference for a given webpage.

@joncarrfarrelly and do you find it too big, two small or just right size?

I find the current size perfect, the original size of the upgrade was mildly annoyingly large but I could live with it.

It works fine for me on iPad, IPhone and MacBook. It's easily scaled up or down if needed.

I view on an Apple MacBook or iPhone/iPad.  No issues whatsoever with text size. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Pretty OK on Firefox / Windows 10.

If I go to 110%, the larger text in the posts is slightly better for me, but then the stuff under the posters' avatars starts taking too much space.

I've removed some stuff from the User profile bit in the post which makes it all look much better. Of course, someone will probably upset they can't see someone's Skype username or the number of posts they made any more.

What I don't like are the "HOME" and other menu pages.
They look too dispersive, and that colour used for the"NEW" icons is, IMO, ugly, as are the small clouds or whatever on the links.
This is my first post after the update. Strange font, what is it, Typewriter?
I use Firefox on an Windows 8 or 9 ASUS. And thanks for the tip about Ctrl+ or -. Never knew of it.
