I said it at the time, but what the hell, I'll say it again: please let the 
user decide what size text should be.  Don't override their browser's 
settings to make text smaller.

I switched to the "classic" theme as soon as the new wiki was launched, and 
it's much easier to read.  If you're having problems, I'd recommend doing 
the same.

Sometimes when I'm using a website and it's really bad, I use CTRL-+ (on 
Firefox) to make the text temporarily better.  The problem with that is that 
many websites have "frozen" layout that breaks if you try to increase the 
fontsize, and even when it works I forget to set it back, resulting in lots 
of mysteriously broken websites later on.
