Why has the text size on the Date page suddenly changed?

It never used to be huge like this -

and because it is in an area 'reserved for default Smugmug content' I can't change it.

Why did it change? I had already chosen my theme (Smokey) very carefully and presumed things like this would not change at a later date. The text used to be much, much smaller. Now it looks really ugly.

    That portion of the date page can't be customized at this point. I'm sorry.

    I know it can't be customized, my point is that it has changed. Up until very recently the text in the date range wasn't so huge, it was just a little bigger than the rest of the text on that page. Now it is 5 - 6 times the size and looks ridiculous. There is no other text in the whole of the rest of that theme which is quite so big!

    Can you not just add this to your site wide CSS or am I misunderstanding?

    .sm-gallery-date-container h1 {font-size:100%;}

    This works, thanks very much clap.gif (although it should not have been changed without notice in the first place!)

    How would I word it to force the font used as well?

    I haven't tried it but I guess it would be

    .sm-gallery-date-container h1 {font-size:100%;font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif}

    BUT, be careful to pick a font that the user is likely to already have on their machine or your site will look great for you and not for anyone else. If you find you are changing font this way more that once or twice you probably want to look at changing the font on your whole site properly.

    Thanks for this! I bumped the size a bit, but no where near the changed huge size.

    Thank you. I've decided to stick with the default font for this bit, now that it is the 'normal' size again it doesn't look too bad.

    We changed the default text size back FYI, so you shouldn't need CSS
