This is code-dependency at its worst. ---

Looks fine in Mozilla Test 1Test 1 Test 2[sub]Test 2[/sub] Test 3[sup]Test 3[/sup] Test 1 + [sub]Test 2[/sub] + [sup]Test 3[/sup] = Test 4 So, in my browser, if you use size=1 it makes the type small; sub makes the text subscripted; sup makes the text superscripted. They don’t look exactly the same. I think you should get a new browser, preferrably not from MS. ---

Okay, well, keep in mind that some of your readers will see your post differently from the way you posted it. Different browsers, different default fonts, different pokemon cards. Something will be lost in the translation for part of your audience, when you get tricky. ---

Test using size tags. [sub]Test using subscript tags.[/sub] The subscript looks slightly bigger than the size tags to me. ---

Oh, beautiful! MPSIMS meets The BBQ Pit. Thanks for the laugh on a Friday afternoon. And **Dooku** , that was really cool with the \ and wheel. I wonder what else it screws with? ---

> [@Flamsterette\_X](#): > > Test using size tags. > > [sub]Test using subscript tags.[/sub] > The subscript looks slightly bigger than the size tags to me. That’s on your browser/computer. On mine, your size tags line is a little bigger than your last line. Your subscript tags line looks much smaller. This illustrates my point. If you start getting tricky, **Flamsterette\_X** won’t see your trick, and she’ll wonder why you seem to be pulling nothing out of your hat. ---
