Hi, im a little visualy impared and the font size of this board is so small its very diffricult to read. I have my standard web broser set to largest font, but the font on here comes out to be around 8 pica or so. I need about 14 to read comfterbly. It would be healpfull if I could have bigger font.

Thanks and sorry to be a bother.

Hey. Last time I made my font bigger through IE, it worked with bus: so maybe try it again? Otherwise I don't know. You can get like magnifying screens or something to make it bigger too can't you? I'm not sure.

On most Windows based computer systems there is an on screen magnifier that turns the top of the screen into a magnifying glass... it follows your mouse. If you move your mouse over the words, it magnifies them at the top.

To get it from Windows XP, go to... Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Magnifier. You can even change the order of magnification to make it even bigger. Give it a try, if you have it.

Thanks, I actualy ended up looking in exploror options and check marked the box saying ignore font size (bla bla). Its much easier to read. I should use the magnifyer program you mentioned slightly crazy. Hey could you get me the link sometime. Just msn me thats fine. I will ask you on msn anyhow. ttyl!

If you are visually impaired, can I suggest a text to speech program? It is a program that will read the text on the screen out loud for you. I have set it up for friends and they love it.

http://www.deskbot.com is a good one

Good luck!
