This is one place where OBT was quickly responsive after the problem had been mentioned on forum feedback....
Being aware of how many patients here have various problems, including learning problems, short attention spans and more ... and vision problems of various kinds, who have difficulties with the tiring effort to read small font -- sometimes the actual INABILITY to read small font, I change my font to the larger size so my posts are more likely to be read...
I ALSO keep my writing targeted/adapted for the web -- I use brief paragraphs to increase readability, comprehension and retention. The need for this type of writing/formatting is well established in a number of studies.
But still, establishing a larger sized default font would be helpful to many people - and, I might point out, after the OBT default was changed, there was not a single complaint.... But many expressions of excitement and gratitude.

Teri, on your computer's "Accessories" I believe YOU have the option for Larger text. Now that would work on every page you are viewing without you doing anything else once you have set it. I hope you take a look at this. Go to "All Programs" on your "Start" menu. Then to "Accessories" then to "Accessability" then to "Magnify". It should give you options there.
