this unfortunately depends on theme. it looks fine here (thoriated)

Are you sure? I just changed to thoriated and reloaded this page, and default is still the same size as x-small  :-\

I guess it could vary with theme though, and it is only one logical (CSS2) size different to normal text (which is 'small'). Still seems a big actual size diffference though, and not really usable without adding a size tag :(

What should [pre] look like?

pre should just be a switch from variable width to fixed width font type, no size change.

So here's how it looks for me, with 'default' being the same size as 'x-small':

[attachimg=1]

I can't remember what vbulletin did with pre - I'm pretty sure it didn't change size, but I think it might also not make the block a paragraph (unlike html <pre>). Or maybe that was some other tag I found!

Okay. Well, on my laptop (7 & Firefox) last night, it looked like soarer posted there. At work now (7 & IE8), the text is the same size as the small text.

Chrome/Vista/Thoriated, the text looks likes Soarer's image. Same with Firefox.

I notice a difference between Chrome and Firefox on Linux as well.  I'll take a peek.

Should be fixed now.  The SMF guys just forgot about pre.

Ah-ha! Yeah, I had a quick look at the css earlier and couldn't see any style for pre, yet that just puzzled me even more!

Thanks!
