@redheeler it may amuse/dismay you to know that I previously used Stylish. Your 'userscript' hint was enough for me to realise why it hadn't worked (thanks). Tampermonkey proved successful.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks. I'm not sure what combination of factors allows the problem to occur, but I have seen the problem very often over the past month.
Of the six screenshots below, the first three were from the open test phase (prior to migration), and I'm fairly sure that most if not all of the examples were worked around by ceasing to zoom.
Environment
Safari 7.x in Mavericks (OS X 10.9.5 (13F1077)), not set to Zoom Text Only, with a preference for small (ten percent) amounts in ZoomBySite.
Any progress on enabling online images to be converted into attachments using their URLs without first having to download them to your computer? Thanks!

You might try this Safari extension dejo. Once installed you click the extension in the tool bar then select the section of the page you want to change and hit the A key to enlarge the font in only that CSS section.
Or you can go into the extension settings and setup a custom font however you like and apply that to the selected area.
I use it on several sites for just this issue.
Another option is to install the extension Stylish or create a user stylesheet and add the following code to restore text back to the previous size:
Code:
.messageText{
font-size: 14px !important;
}
Smart! Thanks. MacRumors Forums: accessibility will be reviewed.
At 110%, the feet of that row of buttons are lost from some posts. Screenshot attached. Environment as outlined at https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/21493878.
As there'll be a server-side preference for text size, I treat this as negligible. But it may be of interest to @Audentio for future work.

My environment is normally as outlined above, and I use the same key combination.
The problem is reproducible with extensions off, screenshot attached.
A hunch: you may find the problem easier to reproduce if you enable extensions and use ZoomBySite to reach 110%. (Without ZoomBySite, I don't know what increments are used by Safari.)
Postscript
@arn would it help to discuss zoom-related issues in the accessibility topic?
You're right, that menu can become displaced, but only when zooming in/out while it is open. The solution is to simply close and reopen it, and a fix would be to close it when a change in page width is detected.![]()
In Firefox, I hate this change. Way too many clicks and navigation/scrolling compared to the previous option. Ugh. Downvote.
In Safari I get that nifty pull down menu. In FF, I click to active the option, then click again to get a very small pull down menu, then I have to find where I was or where I want to scroll down to - 5 times more work than the previous option (which wasn't ideal). Screen shots follow.
Attachments
This mostly a convenience of a daily practice at MRs. The original software allowed it. Xenforo has a feature/mod that enables it. It's being posted in reference to a conversation. And such images currently can be downloaded to an individual's computer and then uploaded to MRs as attachments, an attachment that is then hosted by MRs. If Google can willfully display a billion images, I see no reason why MRs can't display a few thousand related to conversations. I don't see any feathers being ruffled over this usage, but I am not a lawyer.

You are an absolute god, it makes the these forums seem compete for me now that i can navigate easily, if only all site owners listened to there users like you do. AVForums.com in the UK are you watching, see what can be done with a bit of effort.
Especially now i have managed to get rid of that useless red box with the arrows in that flashes on and off the screen all the time whilst i am scrolling.
Now i can actually concentrate on reading the content of the forums, instead of hoping for the navigation to be easier, and being annoyed by that red flashing box.

If it helps to reduce the bug: with Safari, showing the menu and then refraining from changing the selection leaves the form on screen. It's there, now, whilst I type this reply.
Suggestion
In lieu of the icon that morphs into a form, make use of existing plain english.
The breadcrumb trail begins with the word Forums. Make that a menu.
Postscript
The enhancement mentioned at https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/21507113 emphasis the value of a separate menu, with something other than Forums as the default selection:

Indeed;
Please see the postscript and screenshot in my previous post.

We'll try to fix the Firefox issue. Words might be better then the icon. But I think the general location seems fine.
Nifty. I use FF here because that browser remembers my layouts including web page sizes and doesn't populate my other devices with web histories.
One other "feature" of the former navigational option is that I didn't have to scroll around/drill down quite so much - the forum/subforum I "am in" is at the top of the navigational menu, and the new nav menu always unfurls from the topmost forums which is a time-waster to me as I've got more hunting to do in "where I am and where do I want to go to next". I prefer the previous menu actions. Just saying.
If I'm not mistaken, improvements to search go beyond what's outlined at https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/21488746 …
After viewing search results, browsing back and then reshowing the search dialogue does include at least some of what was sought. That's smart.
(Prior to improvements, the dialogue seemed more lossy.)
