making websites where you override the text size is EVIL. it is BAD. you should be put in jail. did it ever cross your mind that some of us cant see very well and depend on 'text enlargement' things in our browsers to be able to read the screen? no, i guess it probably didnt.

If you'd asked with even a hint of politeness, I might have considered doing something about the fixed text sizes. But due to your utter rudeness, this very reasonable request has found its way to the absolute bottom of my priority list.

Am I mistaken or was that our very first troll here at shatters.net? :roll:

by the way chris, you could find out who 'Anonymous' is if shatters.net logs IP addresses

If you use the Opera browser to view such sites you can zoom in up to 1000%

Indeed, I use Mozilla and the text scales fine, whether it be on this forum or the main Celestia site.

Hi Cris could you post the ip address so that those of us ,that host our own sites can block it . Me I like the text size .

yah, i think i've heard of ip blocking, although after all the trouble he/she has caused, i doubt that he/she will be coming back, although it pays to be on hte safe side... :twisted:

The ip address was 68.14.170.144

Unlike shatters.net, for this IP number, our DNS server works perfectly;-)

ip68-14-170-144.ok.ok.cox.net

looks like a variable address...

ok, now that we know the address, how do you block it? is there a bit of html or something you add in?

as fridger already commented. It is pointless to ban a dynamically variable ip address.

blocking the IP wont matter if he uses dialup...Besides all he did was state his opinion granted an ignorant one...doesnt justify banning his IP...let them be ignorant I say...everyone is entitled to an opinion...

yes but still..... oh whatever, doesn't really matter to me aslong as no more abuse is posted...
