Default Font size

I know it's been asked before. I am not catching on, lol.

I can change my font when replying, but I'm still not seeing where I can change the font of the posts.

All I found under forum tools changed the way the posts were layed out , like printable version. Still really small.

If you want to see the posts larger as you are reading them and if you have Internet Explorer 7.0 it has a handy zoom feature. In the lower right hand corner is a little magnifying glass and a drop down menu to choose zoom levels, either larger or smaller. I have found this extremely handy in many situations although not here becuase I don't have a problem reading this font. I also just learned that you can use "Control +" and "Control -" to zoom in and out.

If you zoom in though, you may have to scroll form side to side. I hope this helps.

Not usinf IE. And Doing Contol + and control plus other keys does a lot of fun stuff, but not making the font bigger. Hmm. Just learned a lot about my keyboard!

Are you using Firefox? If so, maybe some else will come along to you some good tips. There are a bunch of threads around here about this... I guess it's a matter of finding them. Maybe, a mod will come around and help. Or someone else.

Good luck !

have you changed the font size by going into your Control Panel and then Accessability Options on your computer?

i know this changes how you see documents...not sure about internet.

Here's how to change font size for firefox


Increase A quick way to increase the text size is to hold Ctrl (Cmd in Mac OS X) and scroll down with your mouse.

Decrease A quick way to decrease the text size is to hold Ctrl (Cmd in Mac OS X) and scroll up with your mouse.

Normal A quick way to restore the text size to default normal is to press Ctrl+0 (Cmd+0 in Mac OS X).



Hope this helps...

I'm on pc. But it was something like that, I know. An MSW member told me a couple years ago and it worked. Now if only I could remember...



Thanks everybody. I'll get there one of these days.
