Font size on MAC Explorer?

Post by Grinch »

I just recently went from phpbb2 to phpbb3 RC4. Everything is going ok, but today I received an email from a member complaining that all the text is super tiny and unreadable. He's the only person that has complained, but I also suspect that he is one of the only users running a MAC and that particular browser. He did try Safari and it looks ok, but he hates that browser.

So the question here is how do we submit bugs on things that we can't touch? Is there a team of phpbb users here that are able to test the variations of web browsers, including Mac? I'm not really sure what to tell this user of mine. I could log a bug myself (if it turns out to be a bug) but I have no real way to follow up or retest it myself. How should this be handled?

Signed,

Confused. ;)

IE for OS/X is a wretchedly outdated version, which has very poor CSS support. There really isn't much we can do.

In fact IE is so out of date that the Microsoft page for it now says that they no longer support it, there is no download for it and they recommend you use safari. A nice alternative is firefox.

Seriously, IE on the Mac is ancient. Time to move on.

I have IE5 on my Mac for web testing and phpBB3 looks a right mess.

I'm using Safari. There are no problems for viewing PhpBB3 not for Version 2 nor 3 Beta. CSS support in Safari is very standartized.

I really think you are quite right and most of the visitors support us.
