User:Timeshifter/Firefox minimum font size problems

Top
Set your "Minimum font size" setting in Firefox options to 15. It is found in the content tab via the advanced button.

PAGES ON THIS WIKI
Return to top. There are various problems with increasing the "Minimum font size" settings:

"Pages on this wiki" takes up 3 lines at the top of pages. It normally uses only 2 lines.

The added line messes up the formatting at the top of the Main Page (home page). It can cause text below it to have to wrap around it. See this screenshot from the Main Page:

A wider space allocated for "Pages on this wiki" would fix the problem at all font sizes. It would go back to using only 2 lines. It also should be changed from the SHOUTING upper-case letters to lower-case letters.

PHOTOS ON THIS WIKI
Return to top.

See any page with a right-side column. For example; Global Marijuana March 2011 map.

"PAGES ON THIS WIKI" and "PHOTOS ON THIS WIKI" in the right column both look terrible because all the letters are capitalized. See the screenshot to the right.

Random Page and Wiki Activity buttons
Return to top.

Another problem has been fixed with added CSS. See: Community: Forum:Beyond the Wiki-navigation limits. I adjusted the width allocated to the 2 buttons. Increasing the width to 290px via CSS allows use of larger fonts up to 18.

Otherwise the buttons need two lines instead of one at higher font sizes.

I am again talking about "Minimum font size" in Firefox options (content tab, and then the "advanced" button).

For other problems see: Community: Forum: Problems with larger font sizes. Need CSS help.

All these problems should be fixed for all wikis. Custom fixes for each wiki are not a good idea in this case because some of the custom CSS and JS might mess up essential layout for ads, header area, etc..

Top ad flashes on and off, or disappears, when site navigation menus used
Return to top.

Go to the Main Page, and run your mouse cursor across the site navigation menu headers. Note that the top ad may flash on and off, or disappear altogether, until one stops using the menus. Maybe a taller wordmark can fix the problem by separating the menu headers from the top ad. The top of the menus slightly overlaps the ad now. Also, maybe some kind of

code beneath the ad might fix the problem.

Navigation menus not fully visible if using smaller wordmark
Return to top.

The headers for the site navigation menus at the top of the page were made fully visible because the font size for the wordmark has been changed from the default size of medium to the large size. Use the theme designer.
