I've noticed that the formatting of CODE blocks varies a lot between browsers. Using IE at work it's in a pretty small font--almost too small. Using Opera on X.5 the font size is almost too large. I would expect some browser differences, though, and that is not in itself the topic of this post.
But I've also noticed that sometimes CODE blocks will have different formatting even
within the same page. For example, when I view
this page with Firefox 3.0β1 the CODE blocks in the original post use a small font while the CODE blocks in the first reply use a bigger font. (Actually, I have the same page open in two separate windows of that browser. One is as I describe, and in the other all CODE blocks use the smaller font. Go figure.)
I'm finally posting today, but I've noticed this for a couple of years now. Back then the smaller font was almost unreadable (this was mostly with IE on win2k), but on Firefox 3.0β1 the smaller font is nicely sized.
Anyway, any idea why this is happening?

Also while I'm here, allow me to point out that if you click on
Today's Active Topics from the saloon's
root page that it shows the first sentence or two of each post, which is nice.
But if you click on
Today's Topics from the
My Posts page you don't. Also, clicking on
Yesterdays Topics doesn't seem to actually show yesterday's topics.
