Signature font size - SIZE doesn't seem to work anymore?

Tried everything in the link, and still can't get the font size for my signature back to smaller as it has been for years ...

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm still annoyed that no Twitter or YouTube (and probably others too) links actually show up in my browser when they are in posts -- unless they are in a quote of a prior post. Is this EVER going to be fixed? I can't recall when this started, but it's been that way fr quite a while.

I was experiencing that ages ago but it's been fine for a while now. Are you using Ad-blocker Ultimate? I think that may have been the answer for me. But I don't recall as it has been "fixed" for ages for me.

The twitter and YouTube previews also do not show up if you refuse nonessential cookies (might only be an option if you're in the EU)

Just to follow-up: Reached out to an admin, and apparently the SIZE attribute has been disabled since November 2022 - so it is deliberate than can no longer control size of font in the signature.

Interesting - I guess that means I shouldn't touch mine if I want t keep the small text.

Thanks for the inf!

I've now set Firefox to allow all cookies from Flyertalk.com and to allow all tracking for Flyertalk.com ... with n change to the behaviour. Firefox indicates that nothing is being blocked by showing the shield icon with a line through it on the navigation bar:

I went into the developer console to look for stuff that was not loading properly and found nothing related to Twitter in the Network screen. (I'm trying to debug using a page with a Twitter link that should show a preview). But I guess now I know that this does work for others and I may be able to fix it on my end.

I had to enable "Sale of Personal Data" in "Manage Preferences" the right side of the bottom navigation bar in order for Tweets and YouTube videos to display.

Thanks for that hint.
I don't see a button for "Sale of Personal Data" there. I see a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, which asks for all sorts of info and which I don't recall ever filling out. There is also a, "Manage Preferences" link that takes me to a page where I enabled *everything*. Still n change to the preview of Twitter & YouTube. FWIW, I've also tried to "refresh" Firefox.

Strange as that should have worked?
