The resolution in displays, particularly in edit mode, has degraded significantly in the past week, making it difficult to read, and forcing one to increase the size.

  I haven't noticed any change and I haven't heard anything from the other curators regarding such.  Might it be a browser setting or can your further explain what exactly has degraded?

  Thanks for you response.  It may not be a geni thing; I have noticed the same phenomenon in blogspot.  I haven't knowingly changed any browser setting (and do not know how).  Below is a copy and paste from http://www.geni.com/people/Thomas-Bennet/6000000003210264165?through=6000000030495389686

  It may be the zoom, which can often happen accidentally by scrolling while holding a key.  Here are some pages that might help you reset it to 100%.

  Oh, let me know if you need help disconnecting the bad parents on that profile or adding a curator note to hopefully prevent the false parents from being readded.

  The sample I sent you was in default (100%) zoom.  Other data in same font size was quite readable.  It's not related to zooming.

  Oh, I think I understand. :)  You're talking about the "About" section - the Wiki.  The reason those lines are formatted differently is due to the prefixed whitespace "    " before the entry.  If you delete that whitespace, the text should appear as normal.  If you want to indent the line, then use the prefix ">".

  I think it's brouser related; I was having the same problem in blogspot.com, so I switched from Google Chrome to Firefox and problem solved.  I haven't had a chance to check geni in Firefox, but I'm betting that is the problem.  If not, I'll let you know.
