Wiki suggestion
 
When the wikipost is too long there is a link that says "show more >>" The problem is the font is small & hard to see.Many members don't see it. Could that term be made bold and maybe red in color?

Concur that it is hard to read. For that matter, most wikis that I have seen are too small for comfortable reading. Could every font be bumped up a notch in size?

peripherally related —

when I click on a thread that has a wiki, sometimes it opens to the first thread on the page and sometimes it opens to the wiki

since I generally don’t want to scroll all the way through the wiki, if the latter occurs I’ll close the wiki (using the “-“ or ”Hide” button at top right) and then resume reading the thread

the problem is that (seems to be ~75% of the time) the next time I open that thread, it opens to the wiki, esp if someone has edited it since my prior visit

would greatly appreciate any tips/tricks/hacks for making wikis stay closed unless I actually *intend* to open ‘em … TIA

example of wiki that I’ve theoretically “hidden” but that still appears at the top of the thread when I open it

Still not fixed on the wikis I look at.

Please include the request for a larger font size. (You didn't mention what fixes you requested.)

The wiki in https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...on-2019-a.html has some problem with lines not wrapping; a sample is included below. What is quoted is all that is visible in the wiki pane, and the next line starts with a full word. (The problem exists with other lines in the wiki, too.)

When someone reports an account closure here, people are curious as to both the background on the Chase relationship and any/all potential shut down triggers. Please answer any relev
Unlike the quote, the wiki text is smaller than the default text in posts, and correspondingly harder to read. Making text larger in the browser window to facilitate reading the wiki simply exacerbates the problem of hidden line endings.

Please make whatever adjustment is required to wrap lines correctly, and please make the default font size in wikis at least as large as the default font size in posts. Thank you.

well, it’s been six months … the “wiki reappears after selecting ‘Hide’” issue (Posts 3 and 6 above) is still extant and still annoying, esp when going between pages in a long thread

pix are of Dell laptop using Chrome, but also occurs on iPhone (Safari 16.6)

selected “Last page” link from the list of threads on the AS forum; wiki is visible

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3f47bbef5.jpeg
clicked “Hidden”; wiki collapsed as expected

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a5c000ac3.jpeg
selected a different page; wiki is visible again
