Post by claire » Fri Sep 30, 2005 7:46 pm

sorry this is random

is there some kooky way that i can make the text size of the fourms bigger ... and whats in posts and whatnot.

i have the ie text size set to largest and i still can't read things without my glasses ...

anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Is it just on BUS that you have problems, or more generally? If more generally, you should check that your computer's screen resolution is set correctly.

If just BUS, have you tried changing your theme to Access? It has large, sans-serif type.

another possibility is that most web browsers have options where you can set a minimum text size (so nothing's smaller than that) it's possible it will make the site look weird though, so it's worth playing around with a bit to see if there's a combination of board themes/text size that works for you.

Might not work for everyone, but if I press and hold control and scroll the mouse wheel it changes the size of the font on any webpage. Just a nifty short cut I discovered by accident.

I know i'm late lol, but another cool short-cut is holding down control while pressing the - and the = keys to make the font grow and shrink :wink:
Just thought i'd share :D
