No biggie or anything, but I'm still doing the flipping back and forth between the game and the on-line commentary on this notebook and having techs' getting back to the game after checking for recent posts.
To clarify, I have an HP Notebook thingammy, that has Windows 10 installed. Keeps telling me I have no more disc space. My dad explained that this model isn't suited to that program and that the W10 program takes up all the disc space.
Pops (my dad), is an amateur comp expert.... :-\
We did find out that I can't replace my disc with a larger one. Naturally, I would have the only model, or thangammy, that can't. ::) STRAIGHT FACE EMOTE. (Hint,hint AJ ;)
WHAT is with the random script sizes?

I don't know what you are doing to change the size of your text and exposing the underlying code. I do notice that you very often quote messages and then post your reply within the quoted text, which both makes your response tiny and not separated from the quote. I wrote a news item a few weeks ago for you (top right of page) explaining how to place your reply text AFTER the /quote in brackets.
On the notification of a new post; there is no facility built into this software to maintain a push connection with the users. I sometimes use a Firefox plugin called "Check4Change" which sounds an alarm when a new post is made on a specific page I am monitoring. If you have Firefox 57 or higher the newer version is required and is called "C4C". It's a little tricky to use for some people, but I love it. Mostly, I just refresh once in a while and see the new messages.
I'll look into possibly adding some third party plugin to the site that might add push technology to notify members of updates to threads via popups. Adding third party plugins is not a good idea since they often cause problems. If I was running a for profit site I might expose myself to the hassle, but I don't need any extra headaches doing this for free.
On your computer. Is it a PC or some kind of tablet like a Microsoft Surface? I find it hard to believe that any Windows 10 PC does not have at least 25 times more space than the operating system requires. A tablet is different. A Microsoft Surface 3 with minimal memory (like 64GB ) running Windows 10 could run out pretty fast since Windows 10 would use at least half of it. Getting a larger SSD in it would be one solution. Removing some apps or data would be another way to clear space.

Not doing anything to change the size of my text, it just seems to happen. I'm not the only one either. I have mentioned it before.
