Always interesting to see GDPR spurring actual changes. On an unrelated note though, is it just me or is the font on that page HUGE? It doesn't seem to resize either, I zoomed out to 30% and it's still giant.
- CosmicSteve 8y agoHi rococode, what are you viewing the site on? I'm curious if you're experiencing this is on something that's a bit out of the ordinary in terms of setup and whatnot. Regardless, I'm curious if we can do something. You see, the font is indeed larger than other sites out there as NefLabs.com is designed in accordance with DOJ Section §508 best practices for the visually impaired. You can find additional information on this in the full Privacy Policy (https://neflabs.com/privacy/ https://neflabs.com/privacy/) But, I don't think it should be as jarring as what you're describing. So, once again, I'm curious...
- MightySCollins 8y agoLinux Chrome 65.0.3315.3. Resolution 2560x1440. Looks like it just gets bigger the larger the view width `font-size: 1.7vw;` Probably want to constrain that. See https://i.imgur.com/erOZkOT.png https://i.imgur.com/erOZkOT.png
- CosmicSteve 8y agoHey there, much appreciate the info/specs, and screenshot. The site was designed using vw-sized fonts to maintain the same user experience no matter their resolution. But for really large monitors/resolutions, it can be jarring when users expect to see tiny fonts and need to scale them up. That said, we will add some CSS for larger monitors to address this, but it's a hack, as vw-width is true to the original design.
- siberianbear 8y agoSteve, I'm no kind of expert on how to deliver web pages. But you're being a bit obtuse. Several people here have complained about the typeface being huge and they're right. On my browser (Firefox Windows desktop), it's huge, like 45 or 50 points. And I couldn't reduce it by changing the zoom using the control-scroll wheel. It was so annoying that I just closed the window. If you are interested in getting your message across to me personally, you're going to have to do it without forcing me to read it in fifty-point type.
- MightySCollins 8y agoI think the real issue here is that zooming does not fix it. I can understand most people don't test every screen size (although we test loads) and would be happy to zoom out for some pages. What I ended up doing was using dev tools to switch to a normal size which was kinda annoying.

- CosmicSteve 8y agoHey guys, apologies for taking a bit: we've been hard at work! Speaking of which, we made some modifications to our site. How does the display look now on your ends?
- bitofhope 8y agoFirefox 59 on Linux. Font is reasonable but zooming the page does nothing except scrolling up and down.
- tracker1 8y agoI'm using Chrome on a Retina Macbook Pro connected to a 20" 1080p display, it's definitely very large here. Note, My vision isn't great, and on a phone, I've got accessibility set for text as the largest option... it's definitely too large on a big display. Perhaps a baseline of 12-16pt would be more appropriate? Small devices should still show large enough.
- dsr_ 8y agoFirefox: all text is huge. Chrome: text is reasonably sized. Contact form: "4096-bit encrypted".
- CosmicSteve 8y agoHey dsr, I'll take a look via Firefox on desktop a bit later as everything seems fine through the mobile browser. Not sure what you're referring to regarding the contact form though?
- thisacctforreal 8y ago4096-bit is likely an RSA key, correct? Encrypting directly with RSA according to PKCS#1 is limited to a maximum of 501 bytes (key modulus - 11 bytes). Generally RSA is not used to encrypt data directly, instead you encrypt an AES key with RSA then encrypt the data with that key. https://stackoverflow.com/a/5586652 https://stackoverflow.com/a/5586652 https://security.stackexchange.com/a/33445 https://security.stackexchange.com/a/33445 Edit: the messages are from a character limited contact form so it's fine
- dsr_ 8y agoIt's an HTTP form sent over TLS.

- sarah180 8y agoI will second that the text is unreadably large on my large monitor: the characters are rendered in 41.9-point type. If I full-screen the window, it jumps up to 49-point type.
