Subject: [BD-ADM] It's a Question of RW vs Ancestry Boards?!

Now I've been reading messages on this list just like the next guy and I have to admit, while it makes no difference to me personally, I sympathize with those who have been begging for a *larger* font to be used in the messages on the boards.

A peculiar thing happened today which left me scratching my head. I received a direct request from someone to remove a *messed up* posting from a board and giving me the URL to get there. As it turned out, it was the Ancestry (green) side of the house this person had used to post.

I was dumbfounded at what I was looking at. Nice, big print in the message area itself. Saying, hummm, I jumped over to the RootsWeb side . . . . teeny, tiny print. Same message, same board; two entirely different fonts sizes.

Sample URL for message from RW PA Westmoreland County Board:
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/rw/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.westmoreland/2213

URL for same message from Ancestry side: (just change the *an/localities* to *rw/localities*)
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.westmoreland/2213

What gives, folks? Can't our RW users and admins have the *easier on the eyes* font size on RootsWeb Board side, too?
