Anyone having trouble reading the threads?

I sit a ways away from the computer screen and I struggle to read the text. I realised there must be a few old boys around this site and we may be in the same boat. A little trick is to press control and the plus sign together, it will blows up the text. Unfortunately it cuts off the sides but it's still better.

Hofmann - Yeah, the standard text size on this forum must have been decided by a bunch of 19yr olds with perfect youngsters eyesight.
It's the worst forum I've come across for such a miserable text size. That's the reason I post all my postings in size 14 text.
Just write up your post, swipe and highlight all the text, and click on the numbered drop down menu at the top centre of your post, and select the size of text you want to post in .. and hey presto, you're done ..
Unfortunately, with this program, you have to do it every time you post .. you can't set your choice, as your default text size.

Onetrack I can assure you that the text size wasn't decided by a bunch of 19yr olds. I can also assure you that it also wasn't decided by youngsters with perfect eyesight!

I won't even mention about some of youre recent posts in regards to your thought about this forum which I started quite a while back (Well over 19 now!).

As for the topic at hand for Hofmann and onetrack:-

Now the current standard on the forum is 11pt. I will talk to the rest of the admin's of the forum and discuss increasing it. However there are many things that impact on how big the text appears at your end as well.

Things such as the screen resolution on your computer, The size of your monitor, assuming that you are using windows the accessibility options for text size, In internet explorer there are options in the view menu for text size and zooming of the pages.

Also instead of selecting the entire message in the bottom right of the message area you will notice a label indicating "Text size: 11px". Just click on the + button a couple of times will increase the size of all the text in your message.

So while I might not be a 19 yr old youngster and do not have perfect eyesight I do work with computers every day. And in most cases web sites have about the 11pt text size.

Just did some investigation if you change the size of the post using the lower right hand corner text size it will change it for all your post from then on.

By Golly,your right,thanks mate.

It only does it while you type, and it doesn`t stay big when it`s posted but.

Hi bigcam. If you type between the it should stay big This can be controlled by the font and size boxes above the area you type enabling you to change it as much as you like

I`ll give it a go Still PractisingI think I might have itI`ll post it up and see

Thanks Bruce,it seems to work
