Increase Forum Font Size?
« on: 31-03-2009, 20:03:53 »
I'm old. I don't want to strain my eyes looking at screens that are just a little too small for me. I need a slight increase in font size of my screen.Say from a 10 to a 12. Not an increase in font size of my posts (which I see we have a button for in our Reply screen - Like this). I've checked the Profile Layout and Appearance Section, and there's nothing there. I've checked the Help section, and I can't find any way to increase the size of the print of the entire forum. Perhaps I'm overlooking something basic, but I can't find it.

Of course there's a very basic, obvious answer that's staring me on the face - so who would like to be the one to point it out to me?

Glasses  :).

Anyway, I think there may be options in your profile for adjustments? I dunno, I saw some options for the forum settings, you could try looking there I guess.  ;D

Well, if you got Firefox installed... then you can hold CTRL (or CTRL+ + / CTRL+ -/ CTRL+0 to reset) and scroll with your mouse to zoom in. Also, if you dig up in the menus you can zoom in the text only with the same method.

Maybe black-on-white is more suited for you rather than white-on-black theme.


EDIT: Yes, hoding "Ctrl and +/-" simultaneously adjusts the view.

Already tried.


EDIT: Kubabdor: see answer above. Been there, done that. There is no font size change function.


Are there any suggestions from persons who have actually read my post?

Thought you missed that change button (couse I did at first :P).

EDIT: And I've read your post dear sir. Thank you for your concern.

You try to help people out and this is what you get, sheesh.  ::)

DOH! Give the man a cigar! Excellent outside-the-box thinking Mr. GooGel. I was limiting myself to the board, and you went to the browser. Thanks from a slightly blushing jumjum.

GooGel fixed me. I'm a Firefox-er who doesn't know his keyboard functions.

I wish I had been quicker, I was just going to tell you to increase the font size too. Then I could have gotten your praise. :-D

Just hold your CTRL-button and user your mouse-wheel.  ;)
